Hi, I have been trying to make an init script using start-stop-daemon. I am stuck on the arguments to the daemon.

While I'm working on it, I have my application's location hardcoded: public static string MYPROGRAM_PATH = "/path/to/my/workspace"; Obviously this won't work once I package and distribute my application.
