How do I know if a LSB script fails to load or where do I check the log of the lsbs scripts?

I added two scripts with the following command:

update-rc.d scriptname defaults

And just one launches the things I need. It does not seem to be a script error since if I launch it with /etc/init.d/scriptname it works.

This is my script:

#!/bin/bash

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          nodes
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Starts all node apps
# Description:       Starts all node apps like AAM, AMT,...
### END INIT INFO

echo "Launch Node applications with forever"
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

# Starts the redis server
redis-server

# Starts AAM
forever -o /var/log/AAM.log -e /var/log/AAM.log --spinSleepTime 2000 -m 5 start /var/nodejs/AAM/app.js

  1. You will see when it boots on the screen.
  2. Look in /varlog/sysylog or /var/log/messages

  3. You can redirect your application output to a log file (you need to modify the script)

    forever -o /var/log/AAM.log -e /var/log/AAM.log --spinSleepTime 2000 -m 5 start /var/nodejs/AAM/app.js > /var/log/AAM_start.log 2>&1

  • I can not see what happens on boot since I log in using ssh.. nothing is logged on either of them (var/log/messages + syslog). Anyway it worked by adding the log, thanks ^^ – ianaz Nov 28 '12 at 11:16
  • I'm glad it worked :) – Sacx Nov 28 '12 at 11:17
