Startup script does not initialize on Debian Dreamhost VPS

[joesepi]

Here is my initial output:

[ps]$ pm2 startup ubuntu
PM2 You have to run this command as root
PM2 Execute the following command :
PM2 sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/so-loser/.nvm/v0.10.22/bin pm2 startup ubuntu -u so-loser
[ps]$ sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/so-loser/.nvm/v0.10.22/bin pm2 startup ubuntu -u so-loser
[sudo] password for so-loser:

PM2 -ubuntu- Using the command chmod +x /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh; update-rc.d pm2-init.sh defaults
{ [Error: Command failed: /bin/sh: update-rc.d: command not found
] killed: false, code: 127, signal: null }
----- Are you sure you use the right platform command line option ? centos / redhat or ubuntu ?

So I then added /usr/sbin to my path based on some google searching and that got me to this:

PM2 -ubuntu- Using the command chmod +x /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh; update-rc.d pm2-init.sh defaults
{ [Error: Command failed: Can't exec "insserv": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 417.
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
] killed: false, code: 255, signal: null }
----- Are you sure you use the right platform command line option ? centos / redhat or ubuntu ?

I feel like I have just entered a rabbit hole.

I am not sure if this is an error with Debian, PM2, Dreamhost or what. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

After looking into update-rc.d, line ~417 is:

my $rc = system("insserv", @opts, $scriptname) >> 8;
if (0 == $rc && !$notreally) {
    save_last_action($scriptname, @orig_argv);
}
error_code($rc, "insserv rejected the script header") if $rc;
exit $rc;

Try to symlink insserv with ln -s /usr/lib/insserv/insserv /sbin/insserv or wherever is insserv
FWI,

simpleuser$ insserv
simpleuser$ insserv: command not found

but sudo insserv works fine.

I have symlinked the shit out of insserv, everywhere, and I still cannot get this to run. I have added a ton of stuff to my PATH as well. Still same error as before.

Does sudo insserv returns command not found ?

Maybe you should try to do it manually:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://raw.github.com/Unitech/pm2/master/lib/scripts/pm2-init.sh
$ mv pm2-init.sh /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh
$ chmod +x /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh
$ update-rc.d pm2-init.sh defaults
