# /etc/init.d Service Script for Home Assistant
# Created with: https://gist.github.com/naholyr/4275302#file-new-service-sh
#
# Installation:
# 1) If any commands need to run before executing hass (like loading a
# virutal environment), put them in PRE_EXEC. This command must end with
# a semicolon.
# 2) Set RUN_AS to the username that should be used to execute hass.
# 3) Copy this script to /etc/init.d/
# sudo cp hass-daemon /etc/init.d/hass-daemon
# sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/hass-daemon
# 4) Register the daemon with Linux
# sudo update-rc.d hass-daemon defaults
# 5) Install this service
# sudo service hass-daemon install
# 6) Restart Machine
#
# After installation, HA should start automatically. If HA does not start,
# check the log file output for errors.
