This should be placed in /etc/init/sync-gateway.conf.

You should set:

• RUNAS to the username the gateway should be run as,
• PATH_TO_GATEWAY to the path to the gateway binary (output of ./build.sh if you build from source),
• PATH_TO_JSON to the path of the config JSON file,
• LOGSDIR to the path of the logs directory.

I also keep a PIDFILE around for monitoring purposes.

Thanks for this...

Is env LOGSDIR=$HOME/logs not meant to be env LOGS=$HOME/logs ??

...

Doesn't seem to be working for me...

can't seem to get it right
