Ever had to write a piece of software that stores it’s menu tree in a database? Recursive logic is a pain in the ass, and it’s a “heavy” transaction.
I can’t even remember what site I found DadHacker through (it was something relating to his time at Apple), but perusing the archives has taught me more than my senior year of college and has made me laugh and cry with the same trainwreck precision as the last time …

Their solution would create a privileged user with a shell — you want to avoid this. Also, they don’t say anything about running JIRA as a service under init.d.
After the fold, there’s my init.d script for OpenSUSE 10.3. Gotta love JIRA, it’s more flexible than any other project management tool out there, but Atlassian apparently is not a company with a great deal of understanding of Linux.
