Best practices tend to vary with the context and over time. Since you asked about Ubuntu, as far as I know they still consider Upstart to be the method of choice for managing daemons in their system. I haven't written many, but personally I find upstart service definitions simpler than the init shell scripts that BSD and SysV init systems use. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
