Spamassassin init.d script in Centos (timeout)

Does anyone know how to wait till spamd does start properly in init script using daemon command ?

I have a problem with spamassassin because i want to use some big ruleset's and my spamassassin start's about 5minutes, but when it does that, init script throw error about timeout and it does not start spamd.

I have such init script for spamassassin

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# spamassassin This script starts and stops the spamd daemon
#
# chkconfig: - 78 30
# processname: spamd
# description: spamd is a daemon process which uses SpamAssassin to check \
#              email messages for SPAM.  It is normally called by spamc \
#              from a MDA.

        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        daemon $NICELEVEL spamd -L 10000 $SPAMDOPTIONS -r $SPAMD_PID
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        if [ $RETVAL = 0 ]; then
                touch /var/lock/subsys/spamd
        fi
        ;;
  stop)
        # Stop daemons.
        echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
        killproc spamd
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        if [ $RETVAL = 0 ]; then
                rm -f /var/lock/subsys/spamd

       ;;
  status)
        status spamd
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;

        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status|condrestart}"
        RETVAL=1
        ;;
