Here is a simple script to start bitten-slave as a daemon. This will usually be put in /etc/init.d or wherever your init scripts are kept. This has been tested on Ubuntu Hardy, however should run from any system with only minimal changes. You will need to change the DAEMON_ARG varible to contain a URL which reflects your server.
