an init.d style start/stop script for tracd

[anonymous]

An init.d script for tracd. bash, with paths for linux. minor modifications will suit other OS's.

Edit options and place in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ or your host OS's equivalent.

Apologies if something like this has already been submitted, I did not find anything in the wiki or contribs.

Thanks for the contributed example, but this kind of scripts are probably too much distribution specific, so I'm not sure it's worth integrating in /contrib.

Other opinions welcomed, but I propose a wontfix here.

[Emmanuel Blot]

Agreed. This would better fit on ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/script

BTW, the status of /contrib needs some clarification, as some scripts are actively maintained (commit hooks), while some others are not.

[Christian Boos]

As discussed above.
