okay, as promised, here my sample initV service script. Save in /etc/init.d/mysterium-node

BEGIN INIT INFO

Provides: mysterium-node

Required-Start: $all

Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

Default-Stop: 0 1 6

Short-Description: Start the Mysterium VPN node process

END INIT INFO

If you modify this, please make sure to also edit mysterium-node.service

Process name (For display)

DAEMON_NAME="mysterium-node"

Daemon name, where is the actual executable

DAEMON_BIN="$OS_DIR_BIN/myst"

User and group

DAEMON_USER="mysterium-node" DAEMON_GROUP="mysterium-node"

PID file for the daemon

DAEMON_PIDFILE="$OS_DIR_RUN/daemon.pid"

Logging

DAEMON_STDOUT="$OS_DIR_LOG/daemon.log" DAEMON_STDERR="$OS_DIR_LOG/error.log"

Command-line options that can be set in /etc/default/mysterium-node.

These will override any config file values.

DAEMON_DEFAULT="/etc/default/mysterium-node"

Check for sudo or root privileges before continuing

if [ "$UID" != "0" ]; then echo "You must be root to run this script" exit 1 fi

If the daemon is not there, then exit.

if [ ! -x $DAEMON_BIN ]; then echo "Executable $DAEMON_BIN does not exist!" exit 5 fi

Create directory for pid file

PIDDIR=dirname $DAEMON_PIDFILE if [ ! -d "$PIDDIR" ]; then mkdir -p $PIDDIR chown $DAEMON_USER:$DAEMON_GROUP $PIDDIR fi

Create directory for logs

LOGDIR=dirname $DAEMON_STDOUT if [ ! -d "$LOGDIR" ]; then mkdir -p $LOGDIR chown -R -L $DAEMON_USER:$DAEMON_GROUP $LOGDIR fi LOGDIR=dirname $DAEMON_STDERR if [ ! -d "$LOGDIR" ]; then mkdir -p $LOGDIR chown -R -L $DAEMON_USER:$DAEMON_GROUP $LOGDIR fi

Override init script variables with DEFAULT values

Image for testing(x86-x64 aka amd64) is available at: https://tecvector.org/Mysteriumos.tgz - it is a vmware export, but the filesystem(the vmdk) can easily be converted to run in qemu or virtualbox using qemu-convert. root password is toor. ssh login as root is disabled by dropbear(havent figured out why it doesnt allow root login, probably a build flag in dropbear), but theres a user with the login toor:toor as well. available extras: nano (/usr/local/bin, should be in path)
