Sometimes it's easiest to (backup and) edit the init script,
adding something like this to the beginning of the script,

  { which daemon; type daemon; } > /root/answer 2>&1

Then you can run it with a bogus parameter instead of "start"
or you can even reboot and look in /root/answer.

I'm assuming the script still works, though.
