[00:29] let me put it another way.. what causes a service to be recognized as a service? just having a file in /etc/init? and what determines the name.. just the part prefixing ".conf"? [01:24] MFen: init-checkconf /etc/init/bulkagent.conf [01:24] MFen: also look in syslog for errors related to its syntax [01:24] MFen: the name is everything before .conf yes [01:25] MFen: and iwatch has to pick up the change in /etc/init .. you might try 'initctl reload-configuration' just in case
