Does anyone have a nice /etc/init.d/alfresco script?

Hi,

Does anyone have a nice *nix based alfresco startup script they can share?  I'm looking for something that does a good job running the /opt/alfresco/alfresco.sh as a non-root user, and making sure both the alfresco and virtual tomcat servers are started…

Thanks,
Tom

Here is one that covers most of what you are after.  It starts alfresco using alfresco.sh.  It starts the alfresco virtual server if found. It updates the virtual server config to reflect you servers IP address for previews.

It *does not* change to a non system user. That should actually be pretty easy to add. 

It lives here: http://svn.ottleys.net/alfresco/init/ubuntu/alfresco 

Don't forget that if you do want to run Alfresco as a non root user and you need ftp, cifs and/or nfs you need to use port forwarding as discussed here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration#Running_SMB.2FCIFS_from_a_normal_user_account
