Let’s look on your problem.
LSB means “Linux Standard Base Core Specification” I suppose version 3.1 is the actual.

So also your rc-script has to be complained to it.
Of cause there are tutorials for this:
Take this one.

I suppose you only have to do add some commented lines in a header of your script, but read what to do exactly.

Also since Debian 6.0 you have to use

$insserv jboss

instead of

$ update-rc.d jboss defaults

So try to improve your default script.
If you have troubles to do it, ask me, maybe i will have some time on next weekend to help you by trying it myself on deb 6.

So good luck and let us know

Try to find it with:
which sh
This shpoul return the lecation, normally:
/bin/sh

But somehow it’s imposble at all, im not so experienced at this.

# JBoss Control Script

# To use this script run it as root – it will switch to the specified user

# it’s run by user ‘jboss’ and JDK binaries are in /usr/local/jdk/bin.
# All this can be changed in the script itself.

# the following variables are set correctly before calling the script.

updateing:

even seen above, what Debian needs at the top of the scipt, this LSB something information … :S

and when trying it manually start
# /etc/init.d/jboss start
bash: /etc/init.d/jboss: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár

after system reboot jboss not starting, during the boot it has some problem with /etc/init.d//rc: /etc/rc2.d/S20jboss: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
i give up here

If i understood you correct, your update-rc.d script refused job for some reason. And now Jboss does not star automatically after machine restart?

Try to run /etc/init.d/jboss script directly if it works, than you have only a small problem.
RC scripts can be created manually very quick.

JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr/local/jboss/bin; /usr/local/jboss/bin/run.sh -c default -b 0.0.0.0

Maybe the problem is there, it is missing something:

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/jboss missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see

/etc/rc0.d/K20jboss -> ../init.d/jboss

My server is debian 6.0

Thanks!

Gratz!!
