The init script depends on /etc/blackhole.conf being in place and configured.
Blackhole comes with a script that works with init.d/rc.d, to install it copy it from the init.d/YOUR_DISTRO folder in the root directory of this project to /etc/init.d/.
The init scripts can be found here.
i.e. for Debian/Ubuntu users, mv the file from init.d/debian-ubuntu/ to /etc/init.d/.
Then make sure it’s executable:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/blackhole
To make blackhole start on a reboot use the following:
update-rc.d blackhole defaults
