To run the PHP Socket Server as a service we created a bash script for Debian / Ubuntu and it should also work on other linux based server with slight modifications.
The bash script:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: jakchat
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Live Chat Socket
# Description: This file should be used to construct scripts to be
# placed in /etc/init.d.
### END INIT INFO
# Author: JAKWEB - Live Chat WebSocket
# Do NOT "set -e"
# PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

Copy the code above into a file called jakchat. Change the PATH_TO_THE_SOCKET_SERVER to actual path your Rhino WebSocket is installed.
Now copy this file to your server in the /etc/init.d directory.
Important now is to set the correct permission to following files:
We do that with following command.
chmod a+x etc/init.d/jakchat
Press Enter
chmod a+x path_to_rhino/socketserver.php
Press Enter
Now you can start the PHP Daemon with following command.
service jakchat start
You can also use stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload.
To start the service automatically when your server reboots you can use following command.
update-rc.d jakchat defaults
If you want to remove it from the reboot use following command.
update-rc.d jakchat remove
