[Bucardo-general] Init.d script to start syncronisation at reboot - bucardo active, but not no automatic synchronization at reboot

[Carels, L.B. (Bastiaan)]

We have a test set up active for some time (RHEL 6, Bucardo 5.5.0, PG 9.6), but cannot automatically restart the synchronization at server reboot.
Where can I find examples of  an initd script, that starts synchronization [bucardo start -U user -P password] when the script is called with argument start (same for arguments stop/restart/status)? Thanks!

Note: my script attempts cannot handle the postgres user & password arguments: no such file or

#!/bin/sh
