I am wondering if anyone has a working startup script (/etc/init.d/varnish) for Varnishd that works on Ubuntu Hardy. It should set a pid file so it can be monitored. I have been looking all over Google but have yet to find something that works without hacking which I don't have time to do for a few days.

A:
check out the debian package for varnish (packages.debian.org) the one from the lenny backports works well for me
reminder: .deb packages can be unpacked by using 'ar -x' and the file you're searching is in data.tar.gz (? or sth like that), just unpack it and go to etc/init.d/
voila!
