[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#819040: insserv: Symlinked init script in /etc/init.d/<service> fails to be recognised on reboot.

[Brett Ryan]

Package: insserv
Version: 1.14.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If an init script is symlinked to /etc/init.d/<NAME> and a call is made to
`update-rc.d' the init script will function correctly for the remainder of
the uptime of that machine.

Once the machine has restarted a call to start the service results in:

  Failed to start <name>.service: <NAME> <name>.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

This can be resolved by instead copying the init script and reissuing
`update-rc.d'.
