[CalendarServer-users] How to install as system service?

[Damion Theobald]

Hi,

This is my script to work on SUSE Linux enterprise Server 10.

The line, export USER="", was added to facilitate the server starting
automatically when booting as the CalendarServer/run script looks for the
user variable that is not set until you login to the machine.

This script was added to the /etc/init.d/ folder and using chkconfig command
to auto start.

Regards
Damion
