Hello. I have Debian, much the same as Ubuntu.

You have to be root and be able run an terminal.

Copy files:
/opt/ums (# mv UMS-<version> /opt/ums)

Config files:
/etc/UMS.conf
/etc/UMS.cred

Start-script:
/etc/init.d/UMS

Startscript i init.d: (UMS)
#cp UMS /etc/init.d/UMS

Activate in system:
# update-rc.d UMS defaults
- Maybe at S01 in /etc/rc2.d..., it's too early. Change name to S20 i rc2.d - rc5.d

Start UMS-server:
#service UMS start (/etc/init.d/UMS start)

The UMS-file:
#!/bin/bash
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network

Hi,
I just tried this and it's not working, although I have set up the script (permissios and updating "update-rc.d") it doesn't work.
And the script doesn't provide any output to help identify the probelm.
Can anyone help?

**EDIT: After some searching I tried "service UMS start" without any result.
