Debian Startup script

[Spitfire]

Should work havent tested it yet might be worth while to add into distro

#!/bin/bash
# Init Script for ADCH++

CONF=/etc/adchpp/default.conf
PID=$(ps -A -o pid,cmd|grep adchppd | grep -v grep |head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')

 case "$1" in
  start)
   printf "Starting ADCH++"
   adchppd -d -c $CONF
    ;;

 stop)
  printf "Stopping ADCH++"
  kill -SIGTERM $PID
    ;;

 enable)
  printf "Enabling ADCH++ Service"
  update-rc.d adchpp defaults
 ;;

 disable)
  printf "Disabling ADCH++ Service"
  update-rc.d -f adchpp remove

 *)
  echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/adchpp {start|stop|enable|disable}"
  exit 1

 ;;

esac
exit 0

I'd be all for adchpp's default distribution including a Debian startup script, and this looks broadly reasonable for https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ and earlier versions. However https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/ to be released in a couple of days, uses https://wiki.debian.org/systemd instead as its init system.

How would this init script interact with Debian Jessie defaulting to systemd?

can rework it to check if init.d or system.d is used later on if nessary running on wheezy since jessie has been to unstable but its a minor tweak in config just some if variable thats needed
