I created an auto start shell script. Then I have given permission to be executable.
Add a link to /etc/inin.d/ : sudo ln -snf /opt/myapp/apimanager /etc/init.d/apimanager
update-rc.d command to set the run levels
sudo update-rc.d apimanager defaults
I end up with below error
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/apimanager missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/apimanager ...

/etc/rc4.d/S20apimanager -> ../init.d/apimanager
/etc/rc5.d/S20apimanager -> ../init.d/apimanager
To get rid of the warning we have to add the corresponding script header as described here.
