I tried in `Attempt 2' with:

daemon -o /tmp/dummy2_out nc -l 59002

and it works! I can successfully run `service dummy2 start' and the
prompt returns. `nc' is correctly listening on port 59002 and
/tmp/dummy2_out is used.
I can not `stop' the service, but this is maybe due to the fact that a
stop function is not defined in the /etc/rc.d/dummy2 script.

In `Attempt 1', instead, something like

command="/usr/sbin/daemon nc"

does not work. However, it is not important, because it was just a
first attempt/draft.

Thank you so much!
