If you want, it will be easy to add a check to the script along the lines of:
if [ -z "`grep 'RunAsDaemon: Yes' $CFG | grep -v '#'`" ]; then
echo "Not configured to run as a daemon, exiting."
exit 0
fi
The above is pretty crude and I can think of at least a couple of ways
to break it.
It would be better to use sed, but I know little about it
unfortunately. Basically I need the following to make it work nicely:
1) Extract all 'RunAsDaemon' lines from config file.
2) Find a line that does not contain a '#' before the 'RunAsDaemon'.
3) If not found, then exit.
I've spent the last few hours poking at it, but I did not get anywhere. :-(

There is more than one way to skin a cat. ;-)
