okay I put a line /sbin/sulogin in the script and finally figured out 
where the script is hanging and never returning.

---- snip ---

                 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile 
$PIDFILE -\
-name gdm $SSD_ARG -- $CONFIG_FILE >/dev/null 2>&1 || log_end_msg 1echo

--- snip ---

What is the Best approach for allowing the start-stop-daemon to execute 
while allowing the script to continue

~$ ps -auxww | grep S30
