init.d script for mosquitto (on a Raspberry Pi)

mosquitto

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          mosquitto
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start or stop the mosquitto service
### END INIT INFO

# Can be downloaded and installed in one go by using this command
#  sudo wget -O /tmp/download https://gist.github.com/DaveThw/4396124291bb4f92b427/download && sudo tar -zxf /tmp/download --strip-components 1 -C /etc/init.d && sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mosquitto && sudo update-rc.d mosquitto defaults

# Or download and just move to /etc/init.d using this command
#  sudo wget -O /tmp/download https://gist.github.com/DaveThw/4396124291bb4f92b427/download && sudo tar -zxf /tmp/download --strip-components 1 -C /etc/init.d && sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mosquitto
# and then start/stop/restart the service with these commands
#  sudo service mosquitto stop
#  sudo service mosquitto start
#  sudo service mosquitto restart
# And then, if/when you want the service to autostart on bootup, use this
#  sudo update-rc.d mosquitto defaults
# Conversely, if you want to stop the service autostarting on bootup, use this
#  sudo update-rc.d -f mosquitto remove

# This script is based on my version of the Node-RED init.d script, here: https://gist.github.com/DaveThw/da394c8d04fa2bba55ac


# User that launches mosquitto (it's advised to create a new user)
#  You can do:
#   sudo useradd mosquitto
#  then change line below from  USER=pi  to  USER=mosquitto
USER=pi

# Location of the mosquitto configuration file
CONFIG="/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf"



# DON'T CHANGE anything below this line unless you know what you're doing!
