You wrote that the /etc/init.d/xyz is done by "sudo" so the deploy user apparently has access to password-less sudo (at least for some actions), it would appear that the file is not visible to `root`. Which I don't believe or expect.
You included a part of the /etc/init.d/xyz, but didn't include the full thing for some reason, so I can't see what the value of $PIDFILE should be in this case (*please*, adhere to the list guidelines and paste long files in an external service, and link them), nor state where you got the template. I also don't understand the logic behind setting shell: 'bash' on the run() lines that interface with the init script. Your task: task :stop_app, :roles => :web do run "sudo /etc/init.d/xyz stop", :shell => :bash end I might suggest you extend that (or make a similar one, "debug_initd_stuff") that does something like: task :debug_initd_stuff, :roles => :web do run "sudo whoam" run "sudo ls -l /etc/init.d" run "sudo ls -l /var/run" end You might also want to run the init.d script through shellcheck.net, since there are quite a few violations and bad practices already in sight there, shellcheck might help you iron some of them out. (That said, honestly the problem is probably something much simpler.)
