I'm trying to write a script to launch a daemon on both centos and debian.

This is the current pseudo script:

if [ =f "/etc/init.d/functions" ]
  then
    . /etc/unit.d/functions
    alias STARTSTOPDAEMON=daemon
  else
    alias STARTSTOPDAEMON=start-stop-daemon
fi

But then I have two different syntax for the alias...

I have found this on pastebin, I was wondering if it could work cross distro or not.

Any advice?

Both CentOS and Debian use SystemD in their current version ... Also, did you *test* it? – Sven Jun 18 '15 at 12:30
On CentOS 6 systemd is not used – Fez Vrasta Jun 18 '15 at 12:37

Then make it clear which version you are talking about. – Sven Jun 18 '15 at 12:45
Actually it should just work on every version of them (I mean, not centos 2 maybe), that's why I have not mentioned a specific version. – Fez Vrasta Jun 18 '15 at 13:07
They are too different. Write different scripts. – Michael Hampton Jun 18 '15 at 15:34
