I have installed ushareand want to start is with booting. sudo service ushare startworks, and there is a link to start ushare in /etc/rc2.d (and also rc3, rc4, rc5) and there are stop links in other folders.

But after system start ps ax | grep ushare shows ushare is not running.

What could go wrong?

We should enable the service to start at run level. To check ushare is enabled as a service at runlevels

Check chkconfig --l ushare in command prompt.

ushare 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

If it is not set on then you need to set ushare to be started on boot.

chkconfig ushare on

Otherwise use update-rc.d command to enable or disable a service at a run level:

$update-rc.d ushare defaults

  • update-rc.d just tells me that the links already exist. – pirad May 24 '14 at 21:46
  • try once $sudo update-rc.d -f ushare remove and again $update-rc.d ushare defaults – vimodhan May 26 '14 at 6:23
  • Just tried it, still doesn't start up. I wonder if I should try starting ushare via cron. – pirad May 28 '14 at 11:23
