Re: Linux startup, Wheezy -- a required script won't run on startup, but can run manually without any trouble

The Jessie Debian Handbook states:
"The two-figures number
that follows had historically been used to define the order in which services had to be started,
but nowadays the default boot system uses insserv , which schedules everything automatically
based on the scripts’ dependencies." on pg 188.

Try running it as 'sh <yourscript>' or 'dash <yourscript>' -- you're
probably doing "bashisms" in there somewhere that're causing things to
fail.
