Usually it's not a good idea to directly invoke init scripts, but in
this test-suite it might be ok (I don't know).
However if it is ok to directly invoke the init script, then that should
also be done to check the status. i.e.
```
/etc/init.d/${DAEMON} restart > /dev/null 2>&1
if /etc/init.d/${DAEMON} status > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
```
That should eliminate the need for pidof.
