BootScript

Create the bootscript:

cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/apcupsd << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/apcupsd

# Based on sysklogd script from LFS-3.1 and earlier.

   stop)
       boot_mesg "Stopping Apcupsd Server..."

Link it into the runlevels:

for link in /etc/rc.d/rc{{0,1,6}.d/K50,{2,3,4,5}.d/S15}apcupsd; do
  ln -sfv ../init.d/apcupsd $link;
