init script

this is the init script to start helios server in daemon.
In this init script I have assumed that the master folder (helios-server) is located in /opt.
if the location is anywhere else then you just have to change
DAEMON=  python /opt/helios-server/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
to DAEMON=  python "your helios-server location"/helios-server/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

In the installation guidelines you can add  the following lines:
cp helios_server /etc/init.d
chmod +x /etc/init.d/helios_server
update-rc.d-insserv helios_server defaults
