You may want to change this to reflect that you do not implement
reload and status.

     echo "Usage: $DAEMON start|stop|restart|condrestart}"

with a couple of minor changes, the script looks fine. The problem
may be that your proc does not respond to a SIGTERM, so it is not
killed until the killproc function sends a SIGKILL. If this is the
case, then you may want to change "killproc $proc_prog" to
"killproc $proc_prog SIGKILL" so that it sends the kill signal right
away. A better fix would be if the process would respond to a
SIGTERM by doing a proper shutdown. Does your program trap SIGTERM
and do anything with it? (Or trap and ignore it?)
