Your init.d script is very similar to my own but I've adopted yours now as
standard. The only mod I've made is to add "-f" on the rm $pidfile lines
because it was asking for confirmation before deleting. I also added "($PID)"
at the end of the warning about the dead PID because I find that useful in
debugging what is happening.
The restartifdown is the only bit I didn't have and it's a nice touch -
especially when coupled with the cron.
The jury is still out about if it works or not. We have two encoders - it works
on boot on one but not on the other... Will continue to delve in but clearly
it's something to do with the box and not the script!
