Init-script for Linuxversion of the server

[vondel]

Today I have created an initscript for usage in my server, and I wanted to share it with you. I you have comments, please let me know,

I designed it with this points in mind:

• The server has to be run as another user as root
• The server has to be started at bootup, so it had to be compatible with Debian-scripts
• The script has to do some basic checking at startup/shutdown

As a starting point I used the supplied script with the Linux-serverpackage, hence the given credits. And of course, you may use my part as you wish. It would be nice to include this script in future distributions as the Debian-startup-script.

The only 'unusual' program this script depends on, is 'sudo'. For those unfamiliar with this program I advise to read about it. It's very usefull for most administrators.
