Dropped initscript support and distros other than Arch #10

Hello again. Do I understand correctly that you dropping initscript support in favour of systemd on this project means that asd can't be used with say systemv as on Debian/Ubuntu? Please correct me if I misunderstood, but I love using profile-sync-daemon on Debian (though I love Arch too) and I can't quite see what about this project is different so that it should have narrower support.

No. Currently, I am only officially supporting systemd distros like Arch, Fedora, etc. You will just need to write a Debian/Ubuntu initscript. You can base one on the included one in psd. When I have time, I would like to extend support for this project to other distros as well... really, maintaining two utils psd and asd is wasteful. I would really merge them into a single until: one with functionality to sync automatically browser profiles and also give users the flexibility of asd to select any directory. One day...

I see. That does indeed sound like the ideal solution. I will try to adapt the psd initscript and see how it goes. Many thanks.

I took a stab at this and will push the code in a few.

Awesome, it works like a charm.
