init.d.example

[TheBeerbarian]

I have seen the question come from people wanting service to start/stop on system boot/reboot.
Some nice people have helped out with more than adequate solutions.

If you would like this init.d.example file, maybe it can be added to the distribution may help some people out. If not at the root, maybe in a contrib folder?

This example file works on Debian using systemctl.

FWIW, here's a Systemd unit file I use.

[Unit]
Description=KiwiIRC webchat
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User={{ user }}
Group={{ user }}
ProtectSystem=full
NoNewPrivileges=true
PrivateDevices=true
PIDFile={{ user_dir }}/KiwiIRC/kiwiirc.pid
ExecStart={{ user_dir }}/KiwiIRC/kiwi start
ExecStop={{ user_dir }}/KiwiIRC/kiwi stop
ExecReload={{ user_dir }}/KiwiIRC/kiwi reconfig

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

@ShadowNinja's approach seems better for Debian as it dosn't use legacy systemd interfaces
