mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/bin
mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/data
mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/etc
Create a file /var/lib/myinstance/bin/service with content and make it executable:
#!/bin/sh
#
# init script that can be symlinked from /etc/init.d
#
# chkconfig: - 90 15
# description: my simplevisor instance
. "/var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.profile"
exec "/usr/bin/simplevisor-control" ${1+"$@"}
/var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.profile could look like:
# main
export SIMPLEVISOR_NAME=myinstance
# if you want to run it as another user:
#export SIMPLEVISOR_USER=games
export SIMPLEVISOR_CONF=/var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.conf
export SIMPLEVISOR_PIDFILE=/var/lib/myinstance/data/simplevisor.pid
export SIMPLEVISOR_LOCKFILE=/var/lib/myinstance/data/simplevisor.lock
Create /var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.conf according to simplevisor documentation.
For Red Hat or Fedora you can symlink service script:
ln -s /var/lib/myinstance/bin/service /etc/init.d/myinstance
And use it as a normal service:
/sbin/service myinstance start|stop|status|restart|check
