init.d script for haste server

This is a basic init.d script for haste-server. This has been tested on a CentOS 5.5 ec2 instance.

                nohup $DAEMON $SERVER &  >> $LOG_FILE && echo_success || echo_failure
                RETVAL=$?
                echo
                [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && sudo touch $LOCK_FILE
        else
                echo "$SERVER is locked. LOCK_FILE: $LOCK_FILE"
                RETVAL=1

case "$1" in
        start)
                do_start
                ;;
        stop)
                do_stop
                ;;
        restart)
                do_stop
                do_start
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
                RETVAL=1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Copy and paste it 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

Then sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/hasteserver

Now you should be able to do service hasteserver start and service hasteserver stop.

You can then use chkconfig to start hastebin automatically on every reboot like this:

sudo chkconfig --add hasteserver
sudo chkconfig --level 345 hasteserver on
sudo chkconfig --list hasteserver
