It most likely means that a process started by start-stop-daemon via an init script terminated unexpectedly at some stage, and wasn't discovered until start-stop-daemon attemped to stop the process normally during shutdown.

I doubt anyone can help you unless you can tell us what specific init script gave you this error...

The command rc-status will show the status of your startup services that you added to the runlevels.

Code:
padoor ramaswamy #   rc-status
Runlevel: default
 hald                                                         [  started  ]
 net.eth0                                                     [  started  ]
 netmount                                                     [  started  ]
 ntpd                                                         [  crashed  ]
 xdm                                                          [  started  ]
 local                                                        [  started  ]
Runlevel: UNASSIGNED
 dbus                                                         [  started  ]
 udev-postmount                                               [  started  ]
padoor ramaswamy #


Code:
padoor ramaswamy # ntpdate asia.pool.ntp.org
29 Oct 11:39:29 ntpdate[2978]: step time server 218.45.21.199 offset -19814.406471 sec
padoor ramaswamy # /etc/init.d/ntpd start
ntpd              | * WARNING: ntpd has already been started


what is unassigned run level?
if ntpd crashed manual ntpdate works?

it musst be the ntpd reporting no start stop daemon not found?

The ntpd crashed probably because your system time is too far off.

If you manually set the approximate time, then ntpd should be fine. To set system time to UTC
Code:
# date MMDDhhmmCCYY
# hwclock --utc --systohc
# hwclock --show


You could add dbus to default runlevel with rc-update.

I think unassigned services are called from other services, I also have udev-postmount unassigned, but I don't know what the exact real reason is. :)
