Works with PHP 5.2.x + the patch.  
[http://michaelshadle.com/2010/05/21/php-fpm-and-nginx-upstart-scripts/](http://michaelshadle.com/2010/05/21/php-fpm-and-nginx-upstart-scripts/)

(No clue how to startup PHP 5.3 w/ SVN, may wind up being the same…  
haven’t had a chance to run it yet.)

Replaces the need for all the /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d scripts and  
symlinks that may have had to be manually created. Also doesn’t rely  
on the php-fpm script usually installed in /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.

That may come in handy still for log rotation - it looks like it still  
drops a .pid file properly in the pid\_file location (typically  
/var/run/php-fpm.pid)

Enjoy. Feel free to enhance it. It’s very basic right now 🙂

Thanks Michael, I shall be testing it on 5.3.2 with the FPM patch some  
time  
later this week. If I have the time I’ll consider adding a bit more  
functionality.
