bastille-firewall startup script not running

Hi there,

I have an odd issue. The Bastille-firewall is not running at startup.

I can run /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall start manually and it executes perfectly fine and sets up iptables exactly as stated in my ISPConfig admin panel.

However, it seems I must do this after every reboot of the server.

I've tried

Code:

# update-rc.d bastille-firewall defaults

and all I get back is

Code:

System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall already exist.

but they don't seem to want to run.

any ideas?

I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04 Server.

Thanks in advance,

Ryan.

I managed to fix it. Two reboots have shown it now works.

Somewhere along the line, the script /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall had become unexecutable, so a simple chmod +x /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall did the trick.

I honestly have NO idea why this happened, but I'm glad it's sorted now.
