Copy and paste the script into /etc/init.d/hasteserver and then edit these variables in the script according to your installation of haste-server:

• USER
• DAEMON
• ROOT_DIR
• LOG_FILE

Make the script executable and owned by root:

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/hasteserver
sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/hasteserver

Now you should be able to use the commands:

service hasteserver start
service hasteserver stop
service hasteserver status
service hasteserver restart

If you would like for Haste Server to start at boot, use the command:

sudo update-rc.d hasteserver defaults
