What is the difference between
service apache2 restart
and
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
So basically why is the service command recommended compared to directly invoking the appropriate command?

The service command runs the init scripts in a predictable environment:
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /.

I want to deploy a nodejs webapp .
And the nodejs server should be started on boot.

You can use pm2 startup script for the same. Please refer the docs on below link

You can put your executable command for your nodejs server in sudo nano /etc/rc.local.
You can put your command in .bash_profile

I am pretty new in the cloud-init. I got VM everything is setup and running and I designed the reboot mechanism in the VM to use when VM requires reboot after installing updates. So when I reboot the VM Apache is not working by itself after reboot until I run the start command. Is there a way to make Apache start after every reboot?
problem solved, after reading this two sites
apache-server-doesnt-start-automatically
starting_apache_web_server_at_every_reboot_for_debian_ubuntu_linux
I added this line:
cloud_config['runcmd'].append(['update-rc.d', 'apache2', 'enable'])

How to run shell script when XServer is started and lightdm also. I tried with init.d and rc.local in /etc directory, but my script is calling an gui application so that the reason I need to run it after XServer is started.
I am using Debian Jessie.
According to this link .xinitrc in your home directory will be read and executed, otherwise the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is used. So you should be able to create this file and have the shell script started.

I've recently modified the /var/log/secure log to test a remote log aggregation tool and that, of course, prevented syslog from further writing to that log.
Question: How do i restart syslog on this CloudLinux box I have?
I'm used to syslog being under /etc/init.d/syslog for other Linux distros and just a simple restart command does it however on CloudLinux syslog is under /etc/logrotate/syslog and, as far as I could read, it's part of a cron job now or something like that.
On CloudLinux 6 (as well as CentOS6) it is /etc/init.d/rsyslog

I have some applications running on a remote CentOs server. I'd want them to restart in case of any unexpected server failures or shutdown or application crashes. Any suggestions on how could i achieve this ?
Just make them "respawn" in inittab. Init can maintain some processes as constantly running. Just set the process you need to continually run to have the action field type of "respawn".
