init.d startup script

This is a small thing, but it's bothering me.

I've got a startup script placed in /etc/init.d that starts up Xvfb for
me.  I basically used the /etc/init.d/sendmail startup as a template.

   start() {
          
          # Start daemons.
          echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
          daemon Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc &
          RETVAL=0
          echo
          return $RETVAL
  }

When I run 
   # service Xvfb start

I get "Starting Xvfb" w/o the "[ OK  ]" at the end of the line.  But
Xvfb does start up.

Also, when I do a 
  # ps -Ao "%u %p %P %a" | grep Xvfb
  root      1528     1 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/Xvfb start
  root      1529  1528 initlog -q -c Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
  root      1530  1529 Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc

Now when I run the same startup without the "daemon" in front of the
program name, I get 

  # ps -Ao "%u %p %P %a" | grep Xvfb
  root      1583     1 Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc

which seems more reasonable.


Since I can get the script to startup what I want to start up, it's not
a big deal.  I'm only doing this for aesthetics.  But still...
