Redmine

This might help someone and I'm not sure where I can put this so here is an init script for Redmine on debian/ubuntu systems:

#!/bin/sh

#The complete default command that is being run is:
#su - redmine -c "cd /var/www/redmine; mongrel_rails start -d -e production" 
#obviously this will change with your variables,
#but the entire command is here for testing
