I actually have this working, but let me explain why I'm posting this anyway. I'm trying to figure out exactly what update-rc.d
is doing that I can't seem to do manually.
My system boots to run level 2 by default. (And stays at run level 2 all the time. It's just a command line system.)
When I type:
Code: Select all
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/noip2 S95noip2
That of course creates the link which Debian reads during boot up to start the script. If I run this manually:
it works just fine. But the system still doesn't start noip2 at boot up. However, if I delete the link I made and then run:
Then it will start at boot up. Huh? What is update-rc.d doing other than creating a soft link? I tested this back and forth numerous times, and every time I make the link, it doesn't start at boot up, when update-rc.d makes the link, it does start. I tried using S01noip2 instead of S95noip2, but it doesn't mater. So, I can't figure out what update-rc.d is doing outside of creating/removing links. Can someone explain what is going on?
