Hi Neal,

I did it this way.. look my init script :-)

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/apd
#

# Some things that run always

# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system
case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting postfix policy daemon...."
    sleep 1
    ruby /usr/local/bin/apd.rb & > /dev/null
    echo ""   > /dev/null
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "Stopping postfix policy daemon...."
    sleep 1
     kill -9 `ps afx|grep "ruby /usr/local/bin/apd.rb"|grep -v
grep|awk '{print $1}'` >/dev/null
    ;;
restart)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
        ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/apd {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0
