Installation?

1. Write that file to /etc/init.d/axwayactivator
2. Run chmod +x /etc/init.d/axwayactivator
3. Execute update-rc.d axwayactivator defaults
4. Edit this file and change the INSTALLPATH and RUNUSER variables at the top

How to run?

Just use service axwayactivator (start|stop|restart|status) or the old-styled /etc/init.d/axwayactivator (start|stop|restart|status)

Tested?

Tested with Axway Synchrony Activator 5.x.x on Debian Squeeze but should work on other distros as well

How to run it with /bin/sh instead?

If you need to run this with sh instead of bash, do the following

• Change Shabang from /bin/bash to /bin/sh
• Change all "echo -e" to just "echo"
• Remove all unicode-color directives like "\e[0;31m" or "\e[00m"
