I've used a standard bash-startup script for autostarting my Teamspeak Server - which works perfectly. Now I've done the same for the JTS3 Server Mod, problem: It's a .jar-file and doesn't start. If I run the .jar/startscript manually it works just fine.
Here's the script in /etc/init.d/
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Required-Start: $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $network

of course it is linked in the runlevel-folders with update-rc.d jts3servermod defaults.
the servermod startscript (jts3servermod_startscript.sh) is:

I also tried to write an own simple script for only starting the jar and catching the pid and writing it into a file.
None of these scripts wanted to start my .jar file during the startup.
As you can see, the first script is a template for starting Teamspeak Servers during boot. I only replaced some stuff with my Server Mod paths and scripts and put into /etc/init.d/ (chmod 755 was executed of course).
Maybe some of you have other approaches to solve that strange circumstances.
