Init script for an interpreted script.This is particularly useful to get simple services written in Python started at boot time.

myservice.sh

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          myservice
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Put a short description of the service here
# Description:       Put a long description of the service here
### END INIT INFO

# Change the next 3 lines to suit where you install your script and what you want to call it
DIR=/usr/local/bin/myservice
DAEMON=$DIR/myservice.py
DAEMON_NAME=myservice

# Add any command line options for your daemon here
DAEMON_OPTS=""

# This next line determines what user the script runs as.
# Root generally not recommended but necessary if you are using the Raspberry Pi GPIO from Python.
DAEMON_USER=root

# The process ID of the script when it runs is stored here:
PIDFILE=/var/run/$DAEMON_NAME.pid

    start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE --retry 10

Thanks, I've added "--chuid" and explained it all in this blog post:

Hi scphilips. My service is initialized wit the flag -c <../../../file.conf>
Can you orient me about of how to can I modify this script .sh for it?
Thanks

Hi scphilips, Can I use this script to run another shell script as a daemon?
