Daemonize and Autostart under Debian and RHEL
#############################################

:date: 2012-04-05 11:57
:tags: debian,redhat,autostart

Daemonizing and autostarting a process is still a pain in the ass, so
here are two scripts which can be placed under /etc/init.d and if you
are lucky everything will work. 


Example is the punani backend, an universal package resolver and installer
which is essentially a python webserver (now obsolete).

debian init-script
