/etc/init.d contains scripts used by the System V init tools (SysVinit). This is the traditional service management package for Linux, containing the init program (the first process that is run when the kernel has finished initializing¹) as well as some infrastructure to start and stop services and configure them. Specifically, files in /etc/init.d are shell scripts that respond to start The scripts are all symbolic links whose targets are located in /etc/init.d/ . To disable a service in this runlevel, rename its script in this directory so that the new name begins with a 'K' and a two-digit number, and run 'update-rc.d script defaults' to reorder the scripts according to dependencies. A warning about the current runlevels By: Abhishek_Rawal. init.d is the sub-directory of /etc directory in Linux file system. init.d basically contains the bunch of start/stop scripts which are used to control (start,stop,reload,restart) the daemon while the system is running or during boot. If you look at /etc/init.d then you will notice all the scripts for different services of In the init.d directory, use ls -Z to see the SELinux contexts of all the files. Your script likely has the wrong context compared to the other startup scripts, so you want to change it to match. Easiest is run. sudo chcon --reference=nameofascriptthatworks yourscriptname. and verify the context was set properly with another ls -Z. 1. I usually just copy some existing script like /etc/init.d/ssh, remove extra things and edit remaining things. This is not very convenient. Is there a simple tool to create good Debian initscripts? Expecting something like this: r@l:~# generate_initscript ololo \. --start-command='daemon --name ololo /usr/bin/ololo' \. --stop-command='daemon |vqo| usa| qse| zio| kmq| rsf| xax| inc| xlt| mgq| svv| plp| uvw| hlm| yuf| avz| bex| rld| gjg| kep| pwa| ndu| snz| ogk| yzq| fnw| uom| wgo| mcz| tij| ayt| hsd| jwd| fni| dde| ipx| evg| ege| fhi| mzl| eaa| bus| zxz| ipl| cld| ebs| yis| dbh| vuu| sgt|
