Facing errors with running shell scripts at startup and poweroff

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I want to run 3 scripts at startup. They are named as follows: voe.sh startUp.sh and runDown.sh

The script voe.sh is the main file which will in turn call the other 2 files, depending on if the system is booting up or shutting down respectively.

I copied all the 3 files to the directory /etc/init.d . I then used sysv-rc-conf utility, to add them to appropriate run levels as follows:

shankar@shannkardell:~/Important Files$ sysv-rc-conf --list voe
voe          0:off  1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
shankar@shannkardell:~/Important Files$ sysv-rc-conf --list startUp
startUp      0:off  1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
shankar@shannkardell:~/Important Files$ sysv-rc-conf --list runDown
runDown      0:off  1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

I checked the all the rc*.d directories and all of them have correct symbolic links to /etc/init.d directory where all the 3 scripts have been kept. The permissions of these scripts also seem to be correct:

shankar@shannkardell:/etc/init.d$ ls -l voe startUp runDown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2781 Apr 20 14:58 runDown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2576 Apr 20 14:57 startUp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2242 Apr 20 14:57 voe

Even after all this, when I restart my machine, my boot.log says:

/etc/init.d/rc: 121: /etc/init.d/rc: /etc/rc2.d/S20voe: not found

Also, I tried to test the voe.sh from another directory (where I had also kept the other 2 in the same directory) by running it as follows:

shankar@shannkardell:~/Important Files$ sudo bash voe.sh start
Starting GT.M for shankarNow using node v4.2.6 (npm v2.14.12)
-su: startUp.sh: command not found
* 

I am not an expert with Ubuntu. So if I could get any guidance on this issue, it would be great.

Thanks

Edit

Following is the ls -l on the 3 scripts I am concerned about:

shankar@shannkardell:/etc/init.d$ ls -l runDown voe startUp

Answer 1

I see name mismatch. There is voe inside /etc/init.d and you try to call voe.sh . Please check the names

Answer 2

Just to learn a couple of details:
Executing runStart runStart.sh are two different commands. In Windows, the fileending .exe .com .bat etc are not needed, in unix you need to write the full filename always.

Next problem, voe executes runStart and runStop , in other words, runStart and runStop should not be in the /etc/rc.d directory and friends, only voe . Move them to a known file-location. For instance /home/shankar/bin/runStart.sh . You are then going to need to use a full-path when you are going to execute these two helpers, since their path is not in the $PATH environment list (this also goes if the file is in the local directory, then you would need to first cd /home/shanker/bin before executing like this ./runStart.sh , to make sure you are in the correct directory, and execute from there.
