You can  also choose to  ignore ``best practice'' and  install something
sensible like daemontools/runit to supervise your daemon.

daemontools is infinitely superior to ``init scripts'' and not nearly as
complex as the new ``best practice.''

I  personally  prefer  daemontools  over  runit because  it  is  not  as
ambitious (runit  is designed  to replace  PID 1, which  I think  is not
necessary).

Here's a bit of advocacy:
