You are certainly not the only one who needs to have the Handle server
start at system startup, or the only one who thinks it weird that
something like the Handle server is so hard to put on a production
footing.  It should implement the Commons Daemon interface so we can
start and stop it sensibly.  I keep saying I want to add that -- maybe
this time I'll get it done!

I, too, rolled my own initscript for the Handle server.  Unfortunately
for you we run DSpace on Gentoo Linux and our script probably won't
work on Debian (or Red Hat).  But there is a wiki page:

  
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Handle+Service+Startup+Scripts+for+Unix+or+Linux

and it seems you may be in luck after all, because the only script
contributed so far is for Ubuntu, a Debian derivative.  I will see
about contributing our Gentoo script to keep it company.

If anyone has a good Red Hat script, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
