I am taking a step back. I have a normal rc script that is installed with our
product. All of the CentOS 7 documentation says the script should work on
startup/shutdown. But it doesn't. If I run the script manually it works as
it should of course.
When I restart the server, nothing happens or starts up. So my question is
should it be working as it was without me changing anything?
The only way I was able to make it work was to add a service file for it in the
systemd directory which is what led to my email in the trail attached below.
Any way to see what it is doing?
I'll try debugging into out application logs again, but haven't had much luck
with that.Thanks in advanceKM

Is your service still a oneshot type? If you are starting daemonized services,
systemd is probably terminating them. You should use a 'forking' type for
services that will keep around processes.
