Hmm we have a snmpd dependency... if [ -x /etc/init.d/snmpd ] ; then /etc/init.d/snmpd start ./twitch && ./vomit That's so badly written it wouldn't surprise me if it just barfed and gave up ... According to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/sysv-generator/sysv-generator.c though the journal (or syslog) should contain a Failed to create unit file <foo> if it couldn't translate it though ... I'd seriously just give up on that and do the 3-5 line systemd unit that is soo much cleaner ... you could even have a proper snmpd.service dependency in place then!
