solr-initd

Method for starting Solr as a service under initd. Uses initscripts to give it that fully integrated feel :)

NOTE: This was built and tested on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, other distributions will have to alter the scripts to fit your environment.

NOTE: Added handling for multiple solr instances with solr_multiple.initd

Checkout a copy:

$ git clone [email protected]:chrbo/solr-initd.git
