I’ve installed Perforce (p4d) and all it working fine. The thing I’m having trouble with is p4d -d running when the server reboots. I’ve done the following:
sudo apt-get install daemon
cd /etc/init.d
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Allar/linux-perforce-installer/master/p4dservice
chmod +x p4dservice
sudo update-rc.d p4dservice defaults
The script seems to work although I get a “missing lsb information” warning (which I don’t think should effect anything.
The big issue is that on reboot, p4d does not start.
Can someone take a look at that script or maybe this whole process and let me know what I’m doing wrong?

Hello, @tommywright
You can use chkconfig to add script to start on boot using chkconfig with --add parameter
Another way will be to start with a cron job that will run on every minute, so once the server is booted, the cron will run and start the service.
Hope this helps.
