Right, I believe that this will find a process with the name $NAME and
the pid specified in $PIDFILE and then send SIGTERM to that process,
wait 30 seconds, then SIGKILL and wait 5 seconds (if the process stops
within that 35 seconds, that's good, otherwise s-s-d will return 2).

So, probably the first thing to check is that $PIDFILE and $NAME have
the values you want and that $PIDFILE exists and has a pid stored in it.
