The init script to start php-fastcgi to use it with nginx

README

To use nginx with fastcgi you need following packages:
    apt-get install nginx php5-cli php5-cgi spawn-fcgi psmisc

Create a symlink link /etc/init.d/php-fastcgi pointing to ./etc_init.d_php-fastcgi
and a link /usr/bin/php-fastcgi pointing to ./usr_bin_php-fastcgi

Note: Both files need to be executable (chmod +x <file>)

To enable the init script run
    sudo update-rc.d php-fastcgi defaults
and
    sudo update-rc.d php-fastcgi enable
