As it says in the comment:

Read and execute commands from file `/etc/init.d/functions` in the
current shell context.
See http://www.ss64.com/bash/period.html & http://
learnlinux.tsf.org.za/courses/build/shell-scripting/ch10s02.html for
explanations.

Presumably daemon is provided as a function by `/etc/init.d/functions`.

The grep command I asked you to run indicates that `/etc/init.d/
functions` doesn't exist.
Some further homework suggests that all distros should provide a
"daemon" function, but it may be sourced from different files on
various distros. See "Point 4" at <http://www.novell.com/
coolsolutions/feature/11256.html> and <http://openskills.info/
infobox.php?ID=1081>.
It might be worth seeing if any of the init.d files provided by your
distro source their helper library from another file elsewhere. I
might check in with your distro's support forums.
