NOTE Please see Rotate Red5 Logs Without logrotate for a better way to configure logging.

This script assumes you have installed Red5 to /opt/red5, added a non-privileged user named Red5 and applied the appropriate ownership/permissions to the red5/log, red5/webapps and red5/work directories. It is compatible with OpenRC.
