You can try something like this.   Change MYSTART to "/pathto/freevo
-- recordserver  start" or
"/pathto/freevo -- recordserver --daemon" depending how new of freevo
you use and MYSTOP to
"/pathto/freevo -- recordserver stop" or "/pathto/freevo --
recordserver  --stop".

note you don't need the quotes.

        start-stop-daemon --user freevo  --start --exec MYSTOP
