Obviously.  ;-)

No, seriously, you've just broken those scripts where you've deleted
"killproc".  Killproc is a function defined in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and sourced by each of the scripts in that
same directory.  I can only assume that you've somehow managed to delete
the functions file, which is breaking the rest of your scripts.  If you
need to replace that file, email me off-list and I'll send you a copy
from my RH9 laptop.  But you'll need to go back and undo those deletions
you made.
