mpd init script

Hi,

Here is an init script for mpd (music player daemon) in order to start/stop it in boot phase.

Just need to put it in /etc/init.d

and add "mpd" in the RUN_DAEMONS of /etc/rcS.conf

hope it will be useful,

# time or with the command line.

# To start daemon at boot time, just put the right name in the $RUN_DAEMONS

# variable of /etc/rcS.conf and configure options with /etc/mpd.conf.

Re: mpd init script

Not sure how this script could not have been included as part of the MPD package, but it works.  I had to recreate the mpd database on every boot without it.  If you're doing this for the first time like I was, note that you have to set the file permissions to include Execute.

Re: mpd init script

Which is logical and only requires using chmod +x
