Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NarrativeScience-old/log.io/issues/68

Now that log.io doesn't use Forever to start itself (or do I need to use forever manually?), it would be beneficial to provide init.d (and related) scripts to allow log.io harvester and/or server to be managed by the built in service manager (rather than started manually).

It is, but it doesn't quite work. I'll do some digging a little later to identify why it's dying.. but the process doesn't continue to live.

I'm looking into demonizing the server and harvester.

Was trying to follow the guide at https://github.com/NarrativeScience/Log.io/wiki/Daemonizing-log.io-on-Ubuntu-using-upstart-(v0.3.x)

Is the logio in the line bellow means the daemon will need to run under the logio user?

If so probably need to create the user if it doesn't exist...

exec su -s /bin/sh -c 'exec "$0" "$@"' logio -- /usr/local/bin/log.io-server

log.io project had init.d scripts and proper installation script that installed init.d. But for some reason it all was removed from this project in Feb 2013.
There's this project https://github.com/Ennexa/logio-initscript that can be used as example

The wiki has just be updated with a working example, it should be using the ubuntu user instead of the logio user.

https://github.com/NarrativeScience/Log.io/wiki/Daemonizing-log.io-on-Ubuntu-using-upstart-(v0.3.x)

We removed the init.d scripts in 0.3.x because we wanted to encourage users to install and run the application in user space, and not force a choice in daemonization tooling as many users have strong preferences around this.
