Hi,
I'd like to integrate your init file in the contrib directory of the
galileo repository [0]. Who knows, it might interest other people !
Can you provide me with a name (and email) I should use for correct
authorship ?
Thanks.
Ben.

Hello all,
I was asking earlier on for installing galileo as a service under Debian
but the question didn't make it to the mailing list - in the meantime I
spent quite some time in investigating, testing and checking and think I
found a solution (at least galileo is running fine as a service now,
although I could not test with a reboot yet).
I don't know if what I did is correct and good practice or no. So
comments are welcome and if there is a solid solution then this can
maybe be published/documented for others and maybe even included in
galileo setup somehow. Something I was missing is a log file
/var/log/galileo where I could check (just entries like service started,
stopped, synchronized device XXX successfully, sync skipped, ...)
If I remember correctly the steps I took were:
make a file 'galileo' in /etc/init.d/ (attached down below)
sudo chown root: galileo
chmod +x galileo
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
manual testing with:
sudo ./galileo stop
sudo ./galileo start
sudo ./galileo status
htop
sudo update-rc.d galileo defaults (to register the service for good)
my 'galileo' file in /etc/init.d/:
#!/bin/sh
