Akka init script microkernel recommendations

Question

I am currently writing an application with Scala 2.10.2, Akka 2.2.1, Sbt 0.13 and akka-sbt-plugin. I can run the "dist" command, which creates a "start" script to start the microkernel, but this is not a valid init script that supports "start", "stop", "status", etc.

Ultimately, I want to deploy it on CentOS 6.3 or 6.4, so at some point I need the appropriate initscript. I could write one myself, but I think it would be better if there was some kind of standardized script that everyone uses (I can't be the only one that has this problem). Is there a best practice accepted by the Akka community?

Thanks.

I searched quite a bit, and my conclusion is not , for this there is no documented practice. The closest I found for direct access is https://github.com/bwmcadams/sbt-akka-bivy , which can generate a script upstart.
