Thanks for reading my post. Last night I got bored and decided to write an UpStart script (which you put in /etc/init) that will start Slush's stratum proxy at machine startup. First things first, you got have Slush's proxy installed, by getting it at
https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy/, on your Ubuntu 13.04 box and you MUST verify it will run successfully as the unprivileged user you intend to start it as. I've decided to install my stratum proxy at /opt/BtcUser/StratumProxy and run the script as the user BtcUser . Once you have it installed you create an upstart script in /etc/init named SlushStratupProxy.conf (aka the full path is /etc/init/SlushStratupProxy.conf) with this as its contents ->
# Straum proxy autostart script
#
#
description "Straum proxy autostart script"
author "H@shKraker"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
# Automtically respawn
respawn # restart when job dies
respawn limit 99 # give up restart after 99 respawns in 5 seconds
expect fork
setgid BtcUser
setuid BtcUser
chdir /opt/BtcUser/StratumProxy
pre-start script
end script
script
exec /opt/BtcUser/StratumProxy/mining_proxy.py -o stratum.triplemining.com -p 3334
end script

To test that the script works you can type "sudo start SlushStratupProxy" and it should start just fine, and then "sudo stop SlushStratupProxy" to stop the job.
