[improvement] haste-server initscript

[gllmhyt]

I'm running haste-server on a Debian domain, and it's the only thing that's not "reboot-proof". Have anybody worked on an initscript for it ? I tried on myself to work on the etherpad-lite initscript, but it didn't make the trick.

Hmm - I haven't - it shouldn't be too hard though, especially if you're using something like foreman

I found some initscript here that I edited for a Debian host (I've not done an Arch Linux initscrip yet).

#!/bin/bash

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          hastebin
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $redis_server
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $redis_server
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: starts hastebin
# Description:       starts hastebin
### END INIT INFO

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/node/bin # modify if you need
DAEMON_ARGS="/home/hastebin/haste-server/server.js" # path to your node.js server/app
DESC="node.js pastebin server" # whatever fancy description you like
NODEUSER=hastebin:hastebin # USER who OWNS the daemon process (no matter whoever runs the init script)
LOCAL_VAR_RUN=/var/run # in case the init script is run by non-root user, you need to
NAME=node # name of the node.js executable
DAEMON=/opt/node/bin/$NAME # this SHOULD POINT TO where your node executable is

(...)

Then :

~ # update-rc.d hastebin defaults

It's working like a charm for months now.

@postblue any chance you can add this as a wiki page?
