Poltergeist / node_debian_init.sh
Created June 1, 2012 13:43 — forked from peterhost/node_debian_init.sh
Daemon init script for node.js based app/server (DEBIAN/UBUNTU)
#!/bin/sh
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SOME INFOS : fairly standard (debian) init script.
# Note that node doesn't create a PID file (hence --make-pidfile)
# has to be run in the background (hence --background)
# and NOT as root (hence --chuid)
