Re: initscript. If you provide a set of start commands, stop commands, and a status method, a nice SA will write it and ask you to test if you like.
Re: $TMPDIR. Alas bad (ie most) enterprise monitoring tools assign calls for OS directories to systems teams directly, without looking at the files owner.
Some systems guy gets an alert because you filled up /tmp but he can't delete your data obviously, because he's a nice guy. All he can do is redirect the call to the app guys. It's better, in this case, to have your own dedicated storage in a custom folder.
