How to get my script to start up!

Question

I am trying to get a simple script to run at startup my script looks like:

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          litecoind daemon
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: start litecoind
# Description:
### END INIT INFO</pre>

do start()
{
litecoind -daemon --start
}

exit 0

I've added it to /etc/init.d/litecoin

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/litecoin
sudo update-rc.d litecoin defaults

For some reason it is not starting up, forgive my ignorance first time using ubuntu.

I don't know if you wrote the script or took it somewhere, but the "do start()" is not a part of bash script syntax. I think you can be resumed to `I don't know if you wrote the script or took it somewhere, but the "do start()" is not a part of bash script syntax. I believe you can be resumed to:

litecoind -daemon --start

Please replace for that and try again. It's also a good idea checking if the script is working by running it in the terminal with the command $ sudo /etc/init.d/litecoin
