Linux 8 /etc/init.d

edited Jun 12, 2024 11:33PM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

We're upgrading our servers from Linux 7 to Linux 8 (while they initially were Linux 6) and we're using the auto-start feature for our Oracle software in case of server (re)starts.

That means that at that time (when running Oracle Linux 6) we had the typical old style scripts in /etc/init.d

All works, that is not a problem, but my question is not just how to use the "new" system, but what parts MUST I really upgrade ? For example, the new server running Linux 8 is using a script (the same script still) in /etc/init.d - Is that meant to be, or is that using the backwards compatibility feature of the new system ? Should that directory still exist, actually ?

Howdy, Stranger!
