Daemon init script for node.js based app/server (DEBIAN/UBUNTU)
#!/bin/sh # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # SOME INFOS : fairly standard (debian) init script. # Note that node doesn't create a PID file (hence --make-pidfile) # has to be run in the background (hence --background) # and NOT as root (hence --chuid) # # MORE INFOS : INIT SCRIPT http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-sysvinit # INIT-INFO RULES http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts # INSTALL/REMOVE http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # # BEGIN <MODIFY TO REFLECT YOUR SETTINGS> # # # # # 1) Don't forget to also modify the COMMENTED fields in the "### BEGIN INIT INFO" # below (don't uncomment them) if you wish to install system-wide with update-rc.d # eg: provides, Short-Description, Description # # 2) in case you have different node.js servers running, each init.d script should # (obviously) have a UNIQUE BASE name so that PIDS do not conflict # --> name them accordingly # eg: node_static_server, node_express1, node_load_balancer.sh... # # 3) copy the renamed/modified script(s) to /etc/init.d # chmod 755, # # 4) if you wish the Daemon to be lauched at boot / stopped at shutdown : # INSTALL : update-rc.d scriptname defaults # (UNINSTALL : update-rc.d -f scriptname remove) # # 5) based on : Debian /etc/init.d/skeleton # modified by : Peter Host (www.oghme.com) # ______________________________________________________________________________ ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: node_debian_init # Required-Start: $remote_fs $named $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $named $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: DEBIAN initscript for node.js servers/apps # Description: ex : proxy server is a node.js http server listening on # port 8080 (relayed from 80 by iptables). It balances # http requests between the main nodejs server # (nodejs.mydomain.com:8000), the static file-server # (static.mydomain.com) and the legacy apache server # (apache.mydomain.com) and possibly other servers # place this file in /etc/init.d. ### END INIT INFO # Author: My Name <myname@domain.tld> # # Please remove the "Author" lines above and replace them # with your own name if you copy and modify this script. # ______________________________________________________________________________ # # PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin # modify if you need DAEMON_ARGS="/path/to/app.js" # path to your node.js server/app
