What's the command to see what daemons are currently running?

A few of my daemons keep failing to load:

[root@vaio ~]# /etc/rc.d/tor start
/etc/rc.conf: line 67: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/etc/rc.conf: line 95: syntax error: unexpected end of file
:: Starting Tor Daemon                                                   [FAIL] 
[root@vaio ~]# /etc/rc.d/privoxy start
/etc/rc.conf: line 67: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/etc/rc.conf: line 95: syntax error: unexpected end of file
:: Starting Privoxy                                                      [FAIL]

Any ideas why this is happening?

I'm sure not an Arch Linux guy, but this

/etc/rc.conf: line 67: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

is probably a good clue.

Any name/value pair in /etc/rc.conf where you forgot a quote (")?

To list running daemons type the following in a terminal:

ps aux

I think found the first error - I had

eth2="dhcp'

It's strange though - I only counted (and recounted and recounted) 60 lines. How do text files calculate lines? I've been getting those two errors for a long time (I see them at every boot-up), but was always confused because the real line 67 is fine.

As for the other line - how should the file end properly? Then end used to look like this:

#End of file

And I would get the EOF error for 'line 91'

So I did this:

#End of file
#
#
#
#

And now I get the EOF error for 'line 95'

What am I doing incorrectly?

**EDIT**
I am making progress. It seems that the two errors are now gone. Now I only get this output:

[root@vaio ~]# /etc/rc.d/tor start
:: Starting Tor Daemon                                                                            [FAIL] 
[root@vaio ~]# /etc/rc.d/privoxy start
:: Starting Privoxy                                                                               [FAIL] 
[root@vaio ~]#

As for viewing running daemons - I can't quite understand the ps aux output:

Here's my list of daemons that should start at bootup:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng iptables netfs crond alsa privoxy tor)

Where are those?
