We use Scrobby at home to scrobble whatever MPD plays to our Last.fm account. One problem, when we reboot the server and we forget to start scrobby manually, well, sometimes days of data doesn’t get scrobbled.
Thus I wrote a†preliminary†init-script that should fix the problem for now. It’s based upon skeleton and, I know, it’s not the best script ever nor does it follow all the lsb rules and best practices, but it’s a start, it works and I’ll fix the ‘decency’ when I have time to spare.
Use at your own risk:
! /bin/sh

Place that script named scrobby in /etc/init.d/ and then do the following:
sudo chmod +x scrobbysudo update-rc.d scorbby defaults
Now you have an init script and one that will be processed during boot so that scrobby is started.
