start-stop-daemon: command not found

hello every body..
this is a script i that i got from web...

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
LONGNAME="iptables logfile analyzer"
NAME="iptablelog"
DAEMON='/usr/local/bin/feed_db.pl'

set -e

# Main Loop
case $1 in
start)
echo -n "Starting $LONGNAME: ";
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- --background
echo $NAME;
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $LONGNAME: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid || true
rm -f /var/run/$NAME.pid
echo $NAME
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
# echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0
# EOF

after i configure all.. and when i run this script i got an error :

Starting iptables logfile analyzer: /etc/init.d/iptablelog: line 22: start-stop-daemon: command not found

pls help me... what should i do..

I'm having the same issue, meaning I get the same error message on a CentOS 3.4 install. I've searched high & low for an answer. No luck yet!

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The error clearly says
line 22: start-stop-daemon: command not found
This means that you don't have start-stop-daemon.

The reason is that start-stop-daemon is a tool used in debian linux, gentoo linux, and others to start programs as backgrounded daemons. The tool doesn't exist in CentOS.

You can either:
a) find or compile yourself a version of start-stop-daemon (a very handy tool)
b) modify the script so that it makes a daemon of the log analyzer some other way (see the daemon function perhaps)
c) get a version for your distro.
z) get a proper distro. No seriously, have you considered ubuntu?
