+# ISPConfig runs tasks on cron, but cron only runs every minute.
+# If that takes too long to change the configs of the hosts... this daemon might help.
+#  
+# Add this script a boot script /etc/init.d/boot.local or /etc/rc.local or a systemd service.
+#
+# Usage:
+# - /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/start_server.pl --start (Start)
+# - /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/start_server.pl --stop (Stop)
+#
+# You can then disable the regular cronjob calling /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh
+#
+# Systemd example:
+# past the code below to `/lib/systemd/system/ispconfig-runner.service`
+# then run  `systemctl daemon-reload` and `systemctl enable ispconfig-runner`
+# And finally `service ispconfig-runner start`
+#
+#===
