The runit-for-lfs (Linux From Scratch) project, listed on the Runit homepage, has a good number of scripts we've developed. We're still in need of adding other scripts to the mix as needed via request, so if you guys need scripts for your own project, we have a number of them that extend a bit further than those supplied on the Runit website as well.

ejabberd services could be started as such. Here's a method you could use that I've deduced from the documentation to create an ejabberd service:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -pv /etc/sv/ejabberd/log
cat > /etc/sv/ejabberd/run << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec ejabberdctl start
EOF
cat > /etc/sv/ejabberd/finish << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
exec ejabberdctl stop
EOF
cat > /etc/sv/ejabberd/log/run << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /var/log/ejabber ]; then
    mkdir -p /var/log/ejabber
fi
exec svlogd -tt /var/log/ejabberd
EOF
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need to create a run and finish script along with a logging handler as well.

This doesn't use chpst, but it could with some effort. This is more of a "get it working" script.
