rc script problems

[Jim Trigg]

How do I write an rc script to preserve the pid of a child process? The 
"port" I'm working with (technically a commercial package) has a startup 
script that launches a java process. I had written a simple rc wrapper 
around the script but have found it doesn't support stop because the pid 
captured is the script's pid rather than the java process's pid.

Thanks,
