This is IMHO a very valuable contribution, thank you! Hope this gets merged soon, as quite a lot of people ask about init scripts. Can you please add a systemd service file?

i do not use SHITstemd.. sorry in any case winbuntu system easyle converts the sysvinit to the current init system running as i know so you dont need to have problems..

@o1egl i am waiting for this to be merged to continue fixin documentation cos some other changes will need interaction and will touch several files.. thanks in advance

And neither do I, but why make this emotional? Let's keep this technical.

Why should I have problems? I've been using Linux since 1998 and have no problems using it :-) Think about it: Even if you (and I) dislike systemd, the vast majority of this projects' userbase probably uses it. And the documentation should educate / benefit the users, so I proposed including an example.

That said, here's a shot at a service file. Untested, obviously.

[Unit]
Description=Filebrowser
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=<user>
Group=<group>

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/filebrowser

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

i mean that any that want that thing just use the sysvinit script and those system will automatically provide a just-in-time unit when used! as i read in debian "fights" maillist of devuan initiative XD

also for that: you can made a merge request after this are merged! i do not work with those things
