rc scripts: how to start a process that doesn't daemonize itself?

Hi,
I have a program that I would like to control via a rc script,
say /usr/local/etc/rc.d/myprog
problem is this program needs to be put explicitly in background.
I was playing with things like
command="/usr/sbin/daemon /usr/local/bin/myprog"
but this obviously works only for the start case.
Should I just override start() completely or is there a
common way to do it? I don't think I can simply pass a "&" somewhere...
thanks
marco
