I have installed streamTranscoderv3 in Arch Linux and I made an init script based on other scripts

it requires that there is a user transcoder with a valid shell set in /etc/passwd, and read permission in /etc/streamTranscoder where the config files must be located

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/streamTranscoderv3`
case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting StreamTranscoder Daemon"
    [ -z "$PID" ] && su -l transcoder -c 'cd /etc/streamTranscoder; /usr/bin/streamTranscoderv3 -b' > /dev/null
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      echo $PID > /var/run/streamTranscoder.pid
      add_daemon streamTranscoder
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping StreamTranscoder Daemon"
    [ ! -z "$PID" ]  && kill $PID &> /dev/null
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      rm /var/run/streamTranscoder.pid
      rm_daemon streamTranscoder
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  restart)
    $0 stop
    sleep 1
    $0 start
    ;;
  *)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
