Hi,
 
Here is my /etc/init.d/pound script. Add it in your /etc/init.d directory and add it to your chkconfig...
I think you'll have to change t to fit your need. For example, I compiled pound without log to file and I'm using cronolog to catch stdout and stderr and make a log rotation.
 
If you have any suggestion to make it better, please, tell me.
 
Best regards,
Patrice
