Environment

Linux 9
Autosys 12.x
Autosys agent 12.x

Cause

The /etc/init.d folder does not exist on a default installation of Linux 9 any longer.

Resolution

Before starting the installation make sure the /etc/init.d folder exists.
The folder should be bet set to owned by root and have a 755 permissions set.

Also, the Legacy SysVInit scripts must be installed to properly enable it.
