(testing build)
I had occasion to run
/etc/init.d/apache-perl reload
from cron and it failed claiming it couldn't find start-stop-daemon.
The cron email said:
----------
Reloading apache-perl configuration/etc/init.d/apache-perl: line 64:
start-stop-daemon: command not found
----------
host:/# egrep -n start-stop-daemon /etc/init.d/apache-perl
52: $ENV start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON >
/dev/null
57: start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --oknodo
64: start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --signal USR1
70: start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --oknodo --retry 30
72: $ENV start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON >
/dev/null
78: if ! start-stop-daemon -q --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --signal HUP;
then
79: $ENV start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON >
/dev/null
My assumption is that you need $ENV on lines 57 64 70 78 to resolve this.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Ah, this is where you are mistaken in the reason for the use of ENV ;-)
It is in order to clear the PATH and LANG variables to their default
settings and not leak any other variables from root's environment into
apache's environment.

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
