Hello - this is completely free. Just my ideas and absolutely no
guarantee that it is correct (it's working for me at least but I'm
rather new to such kind of things and just try to learn stuff like that
by trial-and-error). You can do whatever you want with it :-). And maybe
others do have better ideas!

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
