+title: Deploying Ponzu on Linux with System-V style init
+
+For reference, here is an example init script to run Ponzu servers. You must 
+define the `PROJECT_DIR` & `RUNAS` variables by replacing `<PROJECT DIRECTORY>`
+& `<USER>` in the script below:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+### BEGIN INIT INFO
+# Provides:          ponzu-server
+# Required-Start:    $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
+# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
+# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
+# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
+# Description:       Ponzu API & Admin server
+### END INIT INFO
+
+PROJECT_DIR=<PROJECT DIRECTORY>
+SCRIPT='cd $PROJECT_DIR && ponzu run --port=80' # add --https here to get TLS/HTTPS
+RUNAS=<USER>
+
+PIDFILE=/var/run/ponzu-server.pid
+LOGFILE=/var/log/ponzu-server.log
+
+start() {
+  if [ -f /var/run/$PIDNAME ] && kill -0 $(cat /var/run/$PIDNAME); then
+    echo 'Service already running' >&2
+    return 1
+  fi
+  echo 'Starting service…' >&2
+  local CMD="$SCRIPT &> \"$LOGFILE\" & echo \$!"
+  su -c "$CMD" $RUNAS > "$PIDFILE"
+  echo 'Service started' >&2
+}
+
+stop() {
+  if [ ! -f "$PIDFILE" ] || ! kill -0 $(cat "$PIDFILE"); then
+    echo 'Service not running' >&2
+    return 1
+  fi
+  echo 'Stopping service…' >&2
+  kill -15 $(cat "$PIDFILE") && rm -f "$PIDFILE"
+  echo 'Service stopped' >&2
+}
+
+uninstall() {
+  echo -n "Are you really sure you want to uninstall this service? That cannot be undone. [yes|No] "
+  local SURE
+  read SURE
+  if [ "$SURE" = "yes" ]; then
+    stop
+    rm -f "$PIDFILE"
+    echo "Notice: log file is not be removed: '$LOGFILE'" >&2
+    update-rc.d -f <NAME> remove
+    rm -fv "$0"
+  fi
+}
+
+case "$1" in
+  start)
+    start
+    ;;
+  stop)
+    stop
+    ;;
+  uninstall)
