SUMMARY: sshd weirdness

Lots of responses on this one, I used the basic script below (from Luc).
Most responded that the script for the sunfreeware.com is badly written
and that the error or non-existence PID is from the grep to kill sshd.
I'm no script expert, only reporting what others replied.

Some recommends search for the /var/run/sshd.pid, this way your ssh
terminal won't get zap while sshd daemon is re-hup or stop/start.

Thanks all.

case "$1" in
'start')
        if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/sshd ]; then
                echo "Starting the secure shell daemon"
                /usr/local/sbin/sshd &
        fi
        ;;

'stop')
        echo "Stopping the secure shell daemon "
        pkill -TERM sshd
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/sshd { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac
exit 0
