Service script for dashing. Update DASHING_DIR variable, add this file to /etc/init.d/ , chmod to 755, and let update rc.d with $ sudo update-rc.d dashboard defaults This scripts stops the dashing service with "killall thin" which will kill all thin services running on your server.

	#!/bin/bash
	# Dashing service
	# Add this file to /etc/init.d/
	# $ sudo cp dashboard /etc/init.d/
	# Update variables DASHING_DIR, GEM_HOME, & PATH to suit your installation
	# $ sudo nano /etc/init.d/dashboard
	# Make executable
	# $ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/dashboard
	# Update rc.d
	# $ sudo update-rc.d dashboard defaults

Using iOS 15 devices with Xcode 12.5 (instead of Xcode 13)

	# The trick is to link the DeviceSupport folder from the beta to the stable version.
	# sudo needed if you run the Mac App Store version. Always download the dmg instead... you'll thank me later :)

	# Support iOS 15 devices (Xcode 13.0) with Xcode 12.5:
	sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/15.0 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

	# Then restart Xcode and reconnect your devices. You will need to do that for every beta of future iOS versions

	# (A similar approach works for older versions too, just change the version number after DeviceSupport)
