Description

Original: We already have instructions on setting up Crowd as a Windows service, so that it will start automatically on startup. It would be nice to create some instructions for starting automatically on UNIX/Linux.

You can have crowd start automatically on Unix/Linux following more or less the exact same instructions as provided in the [Confluence wiki|http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=183148] .  Here is the code for the init.d file I created.  I named it crowd.init.d inside my main CROWD_INSTALL directory and then created a symbolic link from /etc/init.d/crowd to that file.
