service - Spring Boot app with embedded init.d script not starting on reboot -

spring boot has handy feature embed init.d starup script executable jar if configure maven plugin so: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/deployment-install.html#deployment-install

so "installing" spring boot app (executable fat jar) service in centos 6.6 using above method.

so far good. create link jar , set permissions:

sudo ln -s  /path/to/myapp.jar  /etc/init.d/my-service sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/my-service 

and can start application:

sudo service my-service start 

however, want app come on startup, use chkconfig utility:

sudo chkconfig --add my-service sudo chkconfig my-service on 

no errors commands, when reboot centos service not auto-start. running:

sudo service my-service status 

shows:

not running 

running:

chkconfig --list my-service 

shows:

my-service      0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off 

everything looks good, it's not starting. @ point can manually start service "sudo service my-service start" , comes up, it's not auto-starting on boot.

any ideas? thanks

problem solved. turned out path issue , fault. path application lived mounted directory not available @ boot time.
