[ale] creating an init.d script

[Todor Fassl]

My department runs a FlexLM license server for 2 mathematical programs, 
maple and matlab. I want to write some init.d scripts to restart the 
license server instances if we reboot the license server. Right now, I 
have to login and type the command. I can easily put it in a script but 
I want to do it right.

I googled for examples but they all seem so complicated. I tried copying 
an existing script and modifying it (apprort) but after spending, I 
dunno, 10 minutes or so modifying it, I found it wasn't suitable as an 
example.

What's a good generic init.d script to start with? Any good tutorials 
you are aware of? I don't want to spend all day learning how to write 
lsb scripts. An hour or 2 maybe but not all day. If I can't learn how to 
do it right in an hour or so, I'm just going to quick-and-dirty it.
