The runscript works for starting the ircd but don't want to stop it. The problem seems the wrong pid in pidfile (Maybe the app run multiples-instances?).
Please don't mix completely unrelated things. If you have problems with initscript, file a separate bug with emerge --info and other relevant data.
There is no InspIRCd 1.1.17. Did you mean 1.1.13? For the init script problem, open another bug.
Right it's the 1.1.13, sorry :)
Done in CVS. Thanks for reporting.
