SysV initscripts
January 31st, 2006
Dear Sysadmin Lazyweb: Is there some best practice for developing /etc/init.d scripts for multiple distributions, or am I forced to maintain multiple completely divergent versions of the same script (with the RedHat version using stuff from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions and the Debian version using start-stop-daemon, etc.)?

Haven’t tried it myself, but this might help:

Oh my gods, look how complicated that is! But it does solve the NT service issue, which I’d been studiously avoiding.
