3ware 3dm2 on Debian Linux

The other day I needed upgrade a server to a more recent kernel (2.6.16) when I realized I need to upgrade 3ware's web monitoring daemon 3dmd to the new 3dm2. Since they don't support Debian officially, I surfed the internet for a Debian init.d script for 3dm2. I found this e-mail (link) which contained most of what was needed. With a little help from Diane Trout, here are the final touches for the Debian 3dm2 init.d script. To use it, place it in /etc/init.d/3dm2 and execute the command 'update-rc.d 3dm2 defaults' to install init scripts.
