Here's an example init.d script for Spiffy, for use on Debian derivatives (created by Mario Domenech Goulart)

#! /bin/sh
# -*- shell-script -*-

# This is /etc/init.d/spiffy on Debian systems
# It assumes you have a "spiffy.scm" script in /usr/local/libexec and a log directory in /var/log/spiffy

# Select which "csi" program to use; defaults to the one in $PATH
CSI=csi
# Use a longer trace buffer and a larger nursery size (optional)
CSI_ARGS="-:s1m -:a200 -s"

DATE_FORMAT="+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

spiffy_start () {
    echo "Starting spiffy..."
    echo "start: " `date "$DATE_FORMAT"` >> /var/log/spiffy/start-stop.log
    (cd /var/log/spiffy; ulimit -c unlimited ; $CSI $CSI_ARGS /usr/local/libexec/spiffy.scm &)  </dev/null &> /var/log/spiffy/init.log
}

spiffy_stop () {
    echo "Stopping spiffy..."
    echo "stop: " `date "$DATE_FORMAT"` >> /var/log/spiffy/start-stop.log
    pids=`ps ax | grep "[/]usr/local/sbin/spiffy" | awk '{print $1}'`
    if [ -z "$pids" ] ; then
       echo "spiffy is not running"
    else
        for pid in $pids; do
            echo "killing " $pid
            kill $pid
        done
    fi
}
