26       configuration to run a simplevisor instance.
27
28           mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/bin
29           mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/data
30           mkdir -p /var/lib/myinstance/etc
31
32       Create a file /var/lib/myinstance/bin/service with content and make it
33       executable:
34
35           #!/bin/sh
36           #
37           # init script that can be symlinked from /etc/init.d
38           #
39
40           # chkconfig: - 90 15
41           # description: my simplevisor instance
42
43           . "/var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.profile"
44           exec "/usr/bin/simplevisor-control" ${1+"$@"}
45
46       /var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.profile could look like:
47
48           # main
49           export SIMPLEVISOR_NAME=myinstance
50           # if you want to run it as another user:
51           #export SIMPLEVISOR_USER=games
52           export SIMPLEVISOR_CONF=/var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.conf
53           export SIMPLEVISOR_PIDFILE=/var/lib/myinstance/data/simplevisor.pid
54           export SIMPLEVISOR_LOCKFILE=/var/lib/myinstance/data/simplevisor.lock
55
56       Create /var/lib/myinstance/etc/simplevisor.conf according to
57       simplevisor documentation.
58
59       For Red Hat or Fedora you can symlink service script:
60
61           ln -s /var/lib/myinstance/bin/service /etc/init.d/myinstance
62
63       And use it as a normal service:
64
65           /sbin/service myinstance start|stop|status|restart|check
