+Because I use a custom installation of [pyload](http://pyload.org/) I had to write my own init script.
+
+my setup:
+
+- runs as a user with its home directory set to /home/pyload
+- python files are located in /home/pyload/bin
+- configuration files are located in /home/pyload/.pyload
+
+Here is the init script I use:
+
+``` bash /etc/init.d/pyload
+#!/sbin/runscript
+
+depend() {
+    need net
+}
+
+PYLOAD_USER=${PYLOAD_USER:-root}
+PYLOAD_GROUP=${PYLOAD_GROUP:-root}
+PYLOAD_CONFDIR=${PYLOAD_CONFDIR:-/etc/pyload}
+PYLOAD_PIDFILE=${PYLOAD_PIDFILE:-/var/run/${SVCNAME}.pid}
+PYLOAD_EXEC=${PYLOAD_EXEC:-/usr/bin/pyload}
+
+start() {
+  ebegin "Starting pyload"
+  start-stop-daemon --start --exec "${PYLOAD_EXEC}" \
+      --pidfile $PYLOAD_PIDFILE \
+      --user $PYLOAD_USER:$PYLOAD_GROUP \
+      -- -p $PYLOAD_PIDFILE --daemon ${PYLOAD_OPTIONS}
+  eend $? "Failed to start pyload"
+}
+stop() {
+  ebegin "Stopping pyload"
+  start-stop-daemon --stop \
+    --pidfile $PYLOAD_PIDFILE \
+    --exec "${PYLOAD_EXEC}"
+  eend $? "Failed to stop pyload"
+}
+```
+
+Here is the configuration:
+
+``` bash /etc/conf.d/pyload
+PYLOAD_USER=pyload
+PYLOAD_GROUP=pyload
+PYLOAD_EXEC=/home/pyload/bin/pyLoadCore.py
+PYLOAD_CONFDIR=/home/pyload/.pyload
+PYLOAD_PIDFILE=/home/pyload/${SVCNAME}.pid
+PYLOAD_OPTIONS=
+```
