Response to: why not use mDNSResponder instead of mdNSProxyResponder?

The quickest way is to just run killall mDNSProxyResponder to kill the job by name. You could also do something like kill `ps ax|grep mDNSProxyResponder|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'` (although the first one is much simpler...)

    The proper way to write an init script is to use the init.d functions in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions by calling them at the start of the script. See other init scripts for an example.

    These functions handle all pid details for you, and more. Find more info on them at:
