Having had a drive fail I am trying to set up smartd.

Gone through all the how tos, edited all the files as per instructions.
Does not start:

pc@debian14:~$ /etc/init.d/smartmontools start
[....] Starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon: smartd/etc/init.d/smartmontools: 91:
/etc/init.d/smartmontools: start-stop-daemon: not found
failed!

Googling gets me lots of hits referring to dpkg but nothing about smartd.
