Make that:

	start() { 
	        echo -n \$"Starting \$prog: "
	        daemon \$prog
	        RETVAL=\$?
	        echo
	        [ \$RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch %{_localstatedir}/lock/subsys/\$prog
	        return \$RETVAL
	} 

	stop() {
	        echo -n \$"Shutting down \$prog: "
	        killproc \$prog
	        RETVAL=\$?
	        echo
	        [ \$RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f %{_localstatedir}/lock/subsys/\$prog
	        return \$RETVAL
	}
