Apertium

Create a new init script for Apertium's IRC bot

Begiak is Apertium IRC bot. It runs on a low-power server that runs Debian. Sometimes that server is reset, and we have to manually restart begiak. The init script that used to control begiak no longer seems to work. Your task is to create a new init script that supports the normal sort of actions that init scripts do, and also the following options for begiak: the specific path to run it from, the user to run it as, miscellaneous arguments, and a log file to log its output. This init script should live in the repository in a reasonable place. There is a github issue describing this task.
