Deb/RPM services

[jelu]

Get the package running as a service using relevant ways in the different dists.

SUSE/RedHat example: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/server:monitoring/nsca-ng/nsca-ng.spec?expand=1

And for FreeBSD start as a service may use like this:

#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: dsc
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf to
# enable dsc:
#
# dsc_enable (bool): Set to NO by default. Set it to YES to enable dsc.
#
#

. /etc/rc.subr

name="dsc"
rcvar=dsc_enable

command="/usr/local/bin/${name}"
required_files="/usr/local/etc/dsc/${name}.conf"
config="/usr/local/etc/dsc/${name}.conf"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
command_args=" ${config}"

load_rc_config $name

: ${dsc_enable="NO"}

run_rc_command "$1"
