You cannot use shell scripting in the start and stop command. If more  
than one string is given in a start or stop command, the first string  
is taken as the program to execute and the rest as arguments to the  
program. However you can start a shell to do what you want

 start = "/bin/bash -c 'command1 && command2'"
