This. Rocks. Thank you!

Thanks for the script!! In case you want to run Jupyterhub as another user instead of root, see https://gist.github.com/zonca/aaeaf3c4e7339127b482d759866e5f39#file-jupyterhub-L54

Can you please let me know # Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables
. /lib/init/vars.sh and # and status_of_proc is working.
. /lib/lsb/init-functions

As i am not finding them on rhel7 . also if i remove those scripts i am getting errors as command not found for log_daemon_msg do_start do_stop .. Please help i want to run jupyterhub as non root user without any spawner class .. like the above as daemon

This errors with, using Amazon Linux:

[ec2-user@gpu ~]$ sudo service jupyterhub start
/etc/init.d/jupyterhub: line 36: /lib/init/vars.sh: No such file or directory

This one works much better:

Thank for this script!

A little suggestion, after I've run into some issues. On ubuntu 18.04 the daemon is started in /. I've updated the script a little to make it run in /var/lib/jupyterhub/ (which is created if necessary).
