# 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)
#
# MORE INFOS : INIT SCRIPT http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-sysvinit
# INIT-INFO RULES http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts
# INSTALL/REMOVE http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28

# #
# BEGIN <MODIFY TO REFLECT YOUR SETTINGS> #
# #
#
# 1) Don't forget to also modify the COMMENTED fields in the "### BEGIN INIT INFO"
# below (don't uncomment them) if you wish to install system-wide with update-rc.d
# eg: provides, Short-Description, Description
#
# 2) in case you have different node.js servers running, each init.d script should
# (obviously) have a UNIQUE BASE name so that PIDS do not conflict
# --> name them accordingly
# eg: node_static_server, node_express1, node_load_balancer.sh...
#
# 3) copy the renamed/modified script(s) to /etc/init.d
# chmod 755,
#
# 4) if you wish the Daemon to be lauched at boot / stopped at shutdown :
# INSTALL : update-rc.d scriptname defaults
# (UNINSTALL : update-rc.d -f scriptname remove)
#
# 5) based on : Debian /etc/init.d/skeleton
# modified by : Peter Host (www.oghme.com)

# Short-Description: DEBIAN initscript for node.js servers/apps
# Description: ex : proxy server is a node.js http server listening on
# port 8080 (relayed from 80 by iptables). It balances
# http requests between the main nodejs server
# (nodejs.mydomain.com:8000), the static file-server
# (static.mydomain.com) and the legacy apache server
# (apache.mydomain.com) and possibly other servers
# place this file in /etc/init.d.

# or choose one of your own liking.
