Questions tagged [init.d]

Use "init.d" tag for matters related to scripts run during start-up (and shut-down) by the init process - typically they will start daemons or configure pieces of hardware. As of Raspbian Jessie, the default init system is systemd, but other systems such as Upstart and SysVinit exist for other distributions available on the Pi.
