sudo update-rc.d guvnor defaults is not working on my ubuntu machine

[HERRKIN]

I installed guvnor following the docs so I did this

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/node_modules/guvnor/scripts/init/sysv/guvnor /etc/init.d/guvnor

it worked, it created the symlink but when I tiped this:

sudo update-rc.d guvnor defaults

the term replied
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/guvnor: file does not exist

Can you verify that the file /usr/local/lib/node_modules/guvnor/scripts/init/sysv/guvnor exists? Node may have put it's global node_modules directory somewhere else on your system.

[HERRKIN]

no, it doesn't exist, it exists in usr/lib instead of usr/local/lib

[achingbrain]

I'm guessing you installed node via apt-get - if so, you want to create the symbolic link to the correct place:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/node_modules/guvnor/scripts/init/sysv/guvnor /etc/init.d/guvnor

See the note about apt-get in the README.
