start-stop-daemon is not needed for applications that properly handle all daemonization and control themselves, such as postfix. start-stop-daemon is needed for applications that don't daemonize on their own (ie jabberd) and for additional support (eg pid file management) of other daemons that do proper daemonization but not control. -D -- The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
