The following is mostly taken from the example published at https://mkaz.com/2013/07/03/run-script-at-start-on-debian/
Write an init.d script according to the the dependency-booting specification (see at https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts).
, say it `foo.sh`. Place the script under `/etc/init.d`.
ln -s /root/scripts/foo.sh /etc/init.d/foo
Update the runlevel directories under `/etc/rc*`:
update-rc.d foo defaults
#! /bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: foo
# Required-Start: $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: foo service
# Description: Run Foo service
### END INIT INFO
# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting Foo..."
sudo -u foo-user bash -c 'cd /path/to/scripts/ && ./start-foo.sh'
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping Foo..."
sudo -u foo-user bash -c 'cd /path/to/scripts/ && ./stop-foo.sh'
sleep 2

*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/foo {start|stop}"
exit 1
