init script

[jimdoesvoip]

Has anyone written a init script (Centos/RHEL 6 style) for logsniffer?

I assume that perhaps no one reading the issues has done this or done it recently.

We did end up writing a functional init script for this. We've setup and tested on CentOS6, so assume it will work on other distros, but pre-systemd distros. Thanks Jamie for the help in finishing and fixing what I started.

Here is what we've used. Note that this supports adding to chkconfig which is always nice.

cat /etc/init.d/logsniffer

!/bin/bash

chkconfig: 2345 95 05
