running fossil as a daemon process

This is just a note to myself in case I need it 🙂

To run fossil as a daemon process on Ubuntu. I did the following:

  1. Created a fossil user and home directory and gave it a copy of the fossil executable and the website fossil file
  2. Created a fossil/etc/init.d/fossil file
  3. Issued
    sudo /etc/init.d/fossil start
  4. Run sudo update-rc.d fossil defaults to get the init.d script run at system start.

This /etc/init.d/fossil runs multiple fossils.
