Comment 2 for bug 716987

Starting sbnc using crontab might be much easier, especially since using an init script would require root privileges (i.e. in order to add / update the usernames):

@reboot /path/for/sbnc --config /path/for/configdir &>/dev/null

1.3 locks its config dir, so it might even be possible to 'check' whether a particular instance is running:

*/10 * * * * /path/for/sbnc --config /path/for/configdir &>/dev/null

This would check (and possibly restart sbnc) every 10 minutes.

Need to figure out which approach is better (crontab/initscript) and update the documentation accordingly.
