+==== Setting Up Initscripts ====
+Here are some initscripts that can be used to start and stop Serviio. Two are needed, one is /etc/conf.d/serviio, and the other is /etc/init.d/serviio (save them and move them to the appropriate place.)
+<file bash serviio_conf>
+# /etc/conf.d/serviio

+Once downloaded, move them to their appropriate locations:
 <code>
-# chmod -R 777 /opt/serviio/log
+# mv serviio_conf /etc/conf.d/serviio
+# mv serviio_init /etc/init.d/serviio
+# chmod +x /etc/init.d/serviio

+You can then start and stop Serviio with:
+<code>
+# /etc/init.d/serviio start
+ * Starting Serviio Media Server ...  [ ok ]
+# /etc/init.d/serviio stop
+ * Stopping Serviio Media Server ...  [ ok ]
