I am willing to try switching to the systemd method. It would still be nice to know why the publishes instructions for init.d startup method did not work, as expected.
I've been using various Debian Linux systems at home since 2007, and using init.d and update-rc.d commands to autostart software the whole time. This is the first time I've seen it fail to work, and that's the reason for the posting. After following the published instructions, I'm trying to understand what has gone wrong, Earlier, I was trying to troubleshoot the startup problem by pointing out what was working and what wasn't working. What can be done to troubleshoot? Thanks.
