Here it is:


#!/bin/sh
set -e
set -x

# This is in case we upgrade from dcmtk version < 3.5.4
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/imagectn" ]; then
	if [ -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ]; then
        invoke-rc.d --quiet imagectn stop
    else
        /etc/init.d/imagectn stop
    fi
fi

if [ -x "/etc/init.d/dcmqrscp" ]; then
    if [ -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ]; then
        invoke-rc.d --quiet dcmqrscp stop
    else
        /etc/init.d/dcmqrscp stop
    fi
fi

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/dcmqrscp" ]; then
	invoke-rc.d dcmqrscp stop || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section


exit 0
