How to run Bitcoind in the background/startup? (Ubuntu 12.04)

Hi,

I'm setting up a Bitcoind server in a Ubuntu 12.04.

I'm trying to understand how can I start Bitcoind at boot and keep it running in the background.

For example, if I do:
Code:
# bitcoind -daemon
# ...

The server will start, but if I close the terminal window, the server will shut down after a while.

I've googled some more and found this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25518.msg317426#msg317426

I've tried the solution above, but without success. I've done all the steps but the Bitcoind don't even start.

There are any strategies to keep the Bitcoind running based on things like Supervidord(http://supervisord.org/)?

I accept any clue on how to put Bitcoind starting at boot.

Thanks,
