+There is also an example config for stopping and starting the
+Alaveteli app server as a service in `config/sysvinit.example`. This
+example assumes you're using Thin as an application server, so will
+need tweaking for Passenger or any other app server. You can install
+this by copying it to `/etc/init.d/alaveteli` and setting the
+`SITE_HOME` variable to the path where Alaveteli is running, and the

+that's done, you can restart Alaveteli with `/etc/init.d/alaveteli
+restart`.
