Hi folks,

someone using Debian? I need the init script, if you please :) Thanks for your support Regards Andrea Here's the script I'm using. I'm not quite sure where it came from any more. Perhaps it was from packaged version that comes with sarge. More I check about, I think one of my guys created it from the template.

I have a quick and dirty debian package for beta 7 if anybody wants it (it was made with checkinstall). Beta 8 wouldn't be much trouble either.
