<title>Init Scripts</title>

<body>

<p>
Init scripts should be installed into <c>/etc/init.d</c> using the <c>doinitd</c> or
<c>newinitd</c> functions (see <uri link="::function-reference/install-functions/"/>).
Any configuration (commandline parameters or environment variables) for these scripts
should be handled via entries in <c>/etc/conf.d</c> with the same filename <d />
<c>doconfd</c> or <c>newconfd</c> can be used to install these.
</p>

<p>
An overview of the Gentoo init system and how to write init scripts is available
in the <uri link="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/Initscripts#Writing_initscripts">
Writing Init Scripts section</uri>.
