Added information for using the script on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Here is a simple script to start bitten-slave as a daemon on Ubuntu. The example file below should be saved as 'bitten-slave' in '/etc/init.d'. This has been tested on Ubuntu Hardy, however should run from any system with only minimal changes. You will need to change the DAEMON_ARGS variable to contain a URL which reflects your server.

#!/bin/sh

	exit 3

esac

:

To start the daemon manaually run the following.

sudo /etc/init.d/bitten-slave start

Likewise you can stop the daemon with

sudo /etc/init.d/bitten-slave stop

To enable the script so the bitten slave will automatically be started at boot time and stopped at shutdown make the script executable and enable it.

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/bitten-slave
update-rc.d bitten-slave defaults

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

After installing the trac-bitten-slave package you can use the script but you have to change:

DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/$NAME

to:

DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
