Unix troubleshooting, missing /etc/init.d file

I am working through this tutorial on daemonizing php scripts. When I run the following Unix command:

. /etc/init.d/functions

#startup values
log=/var/log/Daemon.log

#verify that the executable exists
test -x /home/godlikemouse/Daemon.php || exit 0RETVAL=0

prog="Daemon"
proc=/var/lock/subsys/Daemon
bin=/home/godlikemouse/Daemon.php

start() {
    # Check if Daemon is already running
    if [ ! -f $proc ]; then
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        daemon $bin --log=$log
        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch $proc
        echo
    fi

    return $RETVAL
}

I get the following output:

./Daemon: line 12: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory
Starting Daemon: daemon: unrecognized option `--log=/var/log/Daemon.log'

I looked at my file system and there was no /etc/init.d file. Can anyone tell me what this is and where to obtain it? Also is the absence of that file what's causing the other error?

Separate your args within their own " " double-quotes:

args="--node $prog"
daemon "nohup ${exe}" "$args &" </dev/null 2>/dev/null
daemon "exe" "args"
