If you want to startup a program from /opt with an init script, like python, you have to modify the PATH in order to make it work. In that phase of startup (runlevel 3) the /opt/bin path is not yet included.\\

You can verify the path by including:\\

If you want to startup a program from /opt with an init script, like python, you have to modify the PATH in order to make it work. In that phase of startup (runlevel 3) the /opt/bin path is not yet included.
After the initial comments but before any executable lines, add a line
like:
(:table border=1 width=100% bgcolor=#ffffff:) (:cell:) export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin (:tableend:)
to your script except that you should replace the path I used above with whatever
is the correct path is on your system for the user who runs the init script
(probably root). From the command prompt as that user, type
"echo $PATH" and copy the output into the above.

$ ln -s /etc/init.d/moin.sh /etc/rc3.d/S81moin
The actual runlevel can be checked with the command runlevel. Usually it is 3 (rc3.d).
The prefix S80 means that it is a Start script, and the number means the place in a startup sequence from 0 to 99. Numbers could be duplicated.
