Hey There,
To start this week off, we've got another updated script (now that we have over 600 some odd posts, we actually have about 400 some odd loose ends to finish up, as well ;) This script is an update of an earlier post we did to showcase a basic init script generator for Linux or Unix, again hearkening back to 2007. How time flies when you're not paying attention to what you're doing ;)
This script includes several updates (which haven't been tested to perfection - so feel free to write in with complaints ;) such as the ability to use command line arguments to specify a wider variety of options, set some to default and not even enter any (except three) if you don't want to. Actually, the only three required arguments are the name of the program you want to start with the init script you generate, the fully qualified name of the same program and the name of the init script itself. All the other options are easily displayed by just running the command without any arguments, like so:
host # ./rcscript.sh
Options -n -p and -f are required!
Usage: ./rcscript.sh [-h for this help screen]
Required switches:
[-n init script name] [-p name of program to control]
[-f controlled program's fully qualified name]
Optional switches:
[-i init directory] [-3 rc3.d directory] [-0 rc0.d directory
[-s start options for your program]
[-S stop options for your program]
[-k additional programs to kill on stop - space separated]
[-b common binary directory - defaults to /usr/bin]
Be sure to "double quote" any switch arguments with spaces!
Hope you enjoy the updates and this script helps you out in some way or fashion :)
Cheers,

# Tips for a few command line arguments - setting an argument to zero will not be considered equivalent to not defining it
# a. set init_dir to 0 if you don't want any scripts and links setup - set rc3_dir, rc2_dir and/or init_dir to "0" to not create that link/script.
# b. If any of the init_dir, rc2_dir and/or rc3_dir variables are not set, they will default to the examples below.
# c. options that include 0 in the example do not need to be set and are entirely optional
#
# init_dir= /etc/init.d or 0
# rc3_dir= /etc/rc3.d or 0
# rc0_dir= /etc/rc0.d or 0
# script_name= myStartScript.sh
# program_name= testProgram
# fully_qualified_program_name= /usr/local/sbin/testProgram
# start_options= "start" or 0
# stop_options= "stop" or 0
# sure_kill= "space delimited list of extra programs to kill" or 0
# common_bin_directory= "place where common binaries are on your system" or defaults to /usr/bin
