R studio server on OpenSuse 15.5 line 20: daemon command

Hello!

I have installed and am trying to run rstudio-server-2023.06.2-561-x86_64.rpm on OpenSuse Leap 15.5 in Windows 11 WSL.

The install went smoothly but I've had trouble starting the installed program.

Sudo rstudio-server start

yielded:
" TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/xdg/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to '/home/stella/.local/share/rstudio/log/rserver.log'.
/etc/init.d/rstudio-server: line 8: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory "

...welp, that checks out, OpenSuse doesn't have a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions". I went ahead and edit line 8 in the rstudio-server script to replace it with ". /etc/rc.status"

after making the edit, I've run into the problem I'm stuck on now -

" TTY detected. Printing informational message about logging configuration. Logging configuration loaded from '/etc/rstudio/logging.conf'. Logging to '/var/log/rstudio/rstudio-server/rserver.log'.
Starting rstudio-server: /etc/init.d/rstudio-server: line 20: daemon: command not found "

I'm not sure where the daemon command comes from, is it something that is also intrinsic to the distribution? I tried installing a package "daemon" using zypper to no avail.

just to be thorough - I did check that I grabbed the correct install for OppenSuse:
"wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/opensuse15/x86_64/rstudio-server-2023.06.2-561-x86_64.rpm"

Does anyone know how to overcome this unknown Daemon command error and help me start the server on my machine? thank you!
