I use CrashPlan on my Debian 8 desktop. I have a script where I must stop the CrashPlan service at the beginning and then start it before exiting. I was using
/etc/init.d/crashplan start
for the restart but the new CrashPlan process was exiting at the termination of my script. I switched to
service crashplan start
and all is well!
Oddly, under Ubuntu 16.04 on another box, the Welp, now Ubuntu is giving me the same issues.init.d
script/command behaves as desired. When my script exits, CrashPlan continues to run.
My Debian script is now functional. But I was under the impression that the service
command was on the way to deprecation, so I am puzzled by the differences, both between init.d
and service
, and between the current releases of Debian and Ubuntu.
