Give me the command to start/stop it and I will create the init.d script for you.

start: /usr/local/sbin/apf -s
stop: /usr/local/sbin/apf -f

thanks in advance.

I haven't got apf, so I haven't tested this but it *should* work. Everything has to be done as root.

Create an executable file file called /etc/init.d/apf, copy and paste this in:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/apf
#
# Written by Saman Ghannadzadeh <saman@meninpc.co.uk>

set -e

DAEMON="/usr/local/sbin/apf -s"
NAME=apf

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo -n "Starting APF: $NAME"
    start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --pidfile /var/run/apf.pid --exec $DAEMON
    echo "."
    ;;
  stop)
    echo -n "Stopping SPF: $NAME"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/apf.pid --oknodo --exec $DAEMON
    echo "."
      ;;
  restart)
    echo -n "Restarting APF: $NAME"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/apf.pid --oknodo --exec $DAEMON
    start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid --exec $DAEMON
    echo "."
    ;;
  reload|force-reload)
    echo "Reloading $NAME configuration files"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/apf.pid --signal 1 --exec $DAEMON
    echo "."
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart|reload}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Then do following (as root):

Code:

 update-rc.d apf defaults
