script doesn't start on boot with init - linux

I have the following script

I've put it properly in init.d and stuff, chmod-ed it properly , put it in rc.local and yet again it doesn't want to start on boot, though if i run it manually , passing an argument to it ,e.g. "service weblogic start" it works fine , both as root and not. Anyone has any suggestions why is it acting like this and is there any solution to it ?

You don't need to put it in init.d and rc.local both places. One is enough.
You may try this after you put it in init.d:
For Debian based OS:
sudo update-rc.d script_name defaults
For CentOS:
chkconfig --add myscript

Found a solution, the problem was with the priorites , I have changed the chkconfig options to 345 98 10 from 345 99 01.

Start an Electron app at boot on Raspberry Pi 3 with yocto

I built an image with X11 using yocto for a Raspberry Pi 3 and a touchscreen. I can start my app built with Electron (chromium) by running commands manually in a serial session:
export DISPLAY=:0
/usr/lib/node/electron/dist/electron --no-sandbox /home/root/app
I though to use an init.d script to do it automatically at startup but I'd like to do it the proper way. I tried to create an .Xsession file in my user directory with the commands above but it doesn't work and I don't know if I can get logs of what happened.
According to this wiki, there is a lot of steps at X11 startup. Currently, I only see a Terminal (from Matchbox I guess) and a mouse cursor.
What's the "standard" way to start an app with the system and is there a way to remove the cursor for a touchscreen?
Edit
Here is the content of my /etc/X11 directory:

The correct way to define a complete X session depends on your session manager: on Yocto that is often matchbox-session or mini-x-session. From your description I'd guess you're using mini-x-session (it happens to start a terminal and a window-manager if session file is not found).
Quoting mini-x-session:
if [ -e $HOME/.mini_x/session ]
then
exec $HOME/.mini_x/session
fi
if [ -e /etc/mini_x/session ]
then
exec /etc/mini_x/session
fi
So adding a /etc/mini_x/session script should work.
By the way, in your session file you may also want to start a window manager (X can do weird things without one):
your-app-here &
exec matchbox-window-manager

run jar-file on startup linux

I've used a standard bash-startup script for autostarting my Teamspeak Server - which works perfectly. Now I've done the same for the JTS3 Server Mod, problem: It's a .jar-file and doesn't start. If I run the .jar/startscript manually it works just fine.
Here's the script in /etc/init.d/

I also tried to write an own simple script for only starting the jar and catching the pid and writing it into a file.
None of these scripts wanted to start my .jar file during the startup.
As you can see, the first script is a template for starting Teamspeak Servers during boot. I only replaced some stuff with my Server Mod paths and scripts and put into /etc/init.d/ (chmod 755 was executed of course).
Maybe some of you have other approaches to solve that strange circumstances.
I don't know if the problem was solved in the meantime, but while experimenting with the same issue. I figured out that the script could not find the jar file. So I added:
#!/bin/sh
# JTS3ServerMod Linux start script
# Created by Stefan "Stefan1200" Martens
# The author of this script is not responsible for any damage or data loss!
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
...
At the beginning of the jts3servermod_startscript.sh to ensure that the "working directory" is correct.
BTW - My init script:
jts-bot

Can't resart liquidsoap without killing process manually

I am currently running Liquidsoap on Ubuntu 14.4, streaming to Icecast, hosted on the same box.
My setup is running correctly, however when running sudo service liquidsoap restart, I get the following error:
fatal error exception unix.unix_error(50, "bind", "" )
In order to restart liquid soap, I need to kill the process or reboot.
It then runs correctly. Until I need to restart for whatever reason.
As a side note, liquidsoap created a user and group called liquidsoap, however I am running sudo commands via another user I created.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Fixed by enabling pid file creation.

None of mentioned solutions solved my issue. I had to fix it recently by setting proper ownership and permissions right after starting daemons. After killing the processes and restarting, further restarts work fine.
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $rundir/${liq%.liq}.pid \
--chuid $user:$group --exec $liquidsoap -- -d $confdir/$liq && sleep 1 && chmod 600 $rundir/${liq%.liq}.pid && chown root:root $rundir/${liq%.liq}.pid

Linux: process into a service

I am trying to make a linux executable as a service
I execute my program like this below
java -jar mytestprogram.jar
creates a process that runs continuously and serves REST requests. But I want to run it as a service where I can do
service mytestprogram start
service mytestprogram stop
service mytestprogram status
chkconfig mytestprogram on
etc. What is the most simple way of doing it?
That depends on your system manager
the most common way to do that on debian/ubuntu is to build an initscript and place it in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc/init.d and place a script named mytestprogram in that.
this is an example initscript:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: testone
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

}
do_stop()
{
echo "stopping!"
}
case "$1" in
start)
do_start
;;
stop)
do_stop
;;
esac
exit 0
I suggest you to look some scripts in that directory, It's simple if you know bash a little ;)
Here is a sample shell script (make sure you replace the MAT name with the name of the your application):
I create one GitHubGist with the latest version of my script and a brief explanation to help those who need it. GitHub Gist link

In Ubuntu you can create the file as explained above with few lines, play around and see if it works for you.
description "My prog"
start on (net-device-up
and local-filesystems
and runlevel [2345])
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
respawn limit 10 5
setuid root
setgid shnmon
script
/usr/local/bin/my_script -config.path /etc/myprog/yourconfig.xyz -children false >> /var/log/myprog.log 2>&1
end script
The "-config.path /etc/myprog/yourconfig.xyz" is optional incase you have a config file.
You can just edit the script part and test it and keep others default and edit the rest along the way

Init.d script to start Hudson doesn't run at boot on Ubuntu

I'm trying to start Hudson on Ubuntu automatically on boot with an init.d script. The script works fine when invoked manually (ie with ./hudson start), and has update-rc.d-generated sym-links in rc2-rc5, but it doesn't start on rebooting. Does anyone know what might be causing it to not work? The script is as follows (the hudson.log logfile is created at boot, but doesn't contain any output):

if its run manually, meaning there is nothing wrong with the script...
make sure you copy/move it in /etc/init.d folder and check your link files in rc[2345].d dirs.
maybe this question should be in serverfault.com
Have you added it to rc??
sudo update-rc.d hudson.sh defaults
It works for me...
At the risk of asking too basic of a question, I'm assuming the the su command in the start section of your script has "jcss-dev" in place of "the-user-account-name"?
