I created a Debian single binary package (.deb) for a software project to install the application as a service in ubuntu. dpkg --install
package installation is successful in the computer I used to create the .deb package but I tried with different PC with same environment (all dependencies are installed in these 2 PCs) installation was success and all files installed to correct file locations.
I triggered service serviceName start
to start the service. Service successfully started but process is stopping instantly (Log message show 0xff signal received).
I tried to start the process using the installed binary file in installation location (/opt/xxxx/bin directory) then process working properly.
below is the init script (the script place to /etc/init.d/ directory) and is this a problem with the init script ?
summary of steps
- create debian package (used dh_make, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot related commands)
- install in the same PC, installation success and service start-run-stop correctly
- try in different PC, installation success, service started but stop instantly.
below is the init script
