Linux upstart script for calibre-server 3.3?

Does anyone have a working upstart script for calibre-server 3.3?

I'd been running calibre-server as an auto-start daemon for a good many years, but when I updated from version 2.x to 3.3, the upstart script I'd been using stopped working.

There are a number of scripts for version 2.x around, if you go looking :

https://gist.github.com/razrichter/4157867

But they all seem to use the 2.x arguments.

Does anyone have a script that will work with version 3.3?

I finally got around to spending the time to figure out what I was doing wrong.

This is working for me:

/etc/init/calibre-server.conf:

Code:
description "Calibre (ebook manager) content server"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [^2345]

respawn

env LIBRARY_PATH=/home/jdege/CalibreLibrary
env PORT=9980

setuid jdege
setgid jdege

script
    exec /usr/bin/calibre-server --port=$PORT --daemonize $LIBRARY_PATH
end script

Turns out the above almost works. The problem is that "sudo stop calibre-server" doesn't work.

The problem is the --daemonize argument, Remove it and everything works fine.
