Services in rc.d, not starting automatically at boot

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2204 / 3 Years ago, sat, october 2, 2021, 5:19:09

I have a few services in rc.d that aren't starting at boot time. I've done the update-rc.d, redoing it tells me that start/stop links are already in place, and I can start services manually by using service start.

One of these services (sabnzbdplus) was pulled from apt, the others are downloaded from git. None of them start up automatically.

Nothing seems to be on google other than reinstall the whole system. Any advice?

I corrected this problem by chuser'ing the files/directories that were involved (including settings). I believe this happened because starting and stopping services with sudo gives them root privileges, whereas they're run as the user account at startup.
