Are the benefits of a large script like yours? Just curious if I can update my script.
By the way; I would not run it as the root user ..
I call the init.d with sudo, but it will be ran as my default user which is also the owner of my projects and stuff.

[6api]

i use this script on my production servers, it's running perfect.
i run it as the root user then i can do anything in browser when I was in travel :)
so i do not need xshell or putty, just a browser.
for security, listen on 127.0.0.1 and use nginx proxy with deny/allow ip.
and after this, i use CloudFlare then my cloud9 have full free ssl and great speed.

here is my nginx conf file.

upstream cloud9 {
    server 127.0.0.1:8181;
    keepalive 8;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ide.example.com;

    include common/cloudflare.conf;

    location / {
        satisfy all;
        allow MYIP1;
        allow MYIP2;
        deny all;

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_pass http://cloud9/;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

}

@CrxDelSol @6api thanks for examples of init.d scripts.
I think this can be closed now.
