I setup geoserver to run as a daemon per the documentation. Below is a copy of my geoserver file located in init.d. I have ensure the permissions are set on the file. When I run service geoserver start here is the error i receive.
root@anonymised.com:/usr/share/geoserver/logs# service geoserver start
Failed to start geoserver.service: Unit geoserver.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
When I start it using the startup.sh I have no issues.
#! /bin/sh
