A simple System V init script template written in Shell that provides start, stop, restart, and status commands for background processes. It is configured by setting a few variables (working directory, command, user) and is handy for running Node.js apps and similar services.

Use cases

• create an init script for a node.js app
• run a background process as a service on linux
• add start stop restart status commands to a daemon
• manage a self-hosted app with sysvinit
• log stdout and stderr of a service to files

When to choose

• you need a minimal, dependency-free init script for a single process
• your system still uses System V init and you want a quick template
• you want simple file-based logging for your service

When to avoid

• your system uses systemd, which has native unit files
• you need advanced service features like dependency ordering, socket activation, or supervision
