init.d script running start action then stop action on restart

[hdasio1234]

I created an init.d script for starting a program on boot. I can see that the start action is called on boot, but immediately after that the stop action is called. Is there something missing from my script that is causing the stop action to be called on boot? Thanks

#! /bin/bash


start()
{
    # code removed
}


stop()
{
    # code removed
}


case "$1" in
'start')
    start
    exit $?
    ;;
 
'stop')
    stop
    exit $?
    ;;    


*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0

Code:

#! /bin/bash

start()
{

code removed

}

stop()
{

code removed

}

case “$1” in
‘start’)
start
exit $?
;;

‘stop’)
stop
exit $?
;;

*)
echo “Usage: $0 { start | stop }”
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0

Hi
Look at the file /etc/init.d/skeleton for the correct layout/format,
else convert it to systemd something like…

# /lib/systemd/system/myscript.service
#

[Unit]
Description=My script blah

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/path/to/script/startscript"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "/path/to/script/stopscript"
KillSignal=SIGTERM

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
