Ventrilo Server on Ubuntu

[Viserov]

I'm fairly new to Linux, and I have a spare computer with Ubuntu that I'm using to teach myself some things. Anyway, I have the Ventrilo server installed on the machine and it runs fine whenever I manually start the Ventrilo server up.

I want Ventrilo to automatically load up when Ubuntu loads, so I read the user manual that came with the server (a copy of the manual can be found at http://www.viptx.net/varc/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv.htm) and it basically said to create a script as I have below:

# Startup ventrilo servers.

VENPATH=/usr/bin/ventrilo
VENBIN=$VENPATH/ventrilo_srv

su myusername -c "$VENBIN -f$VENPATH/3784 -d"

renice -5 `cat $VENPATH/3784.pid`

I named this file ventrilo.sh, gave it permissions of 755, and put it in the /etc/init.d/ directory. I did some Googling (am I going to be sued by them for using that word?) and found this site -- https://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/add...-run-at-bootup/ -- which I used to run this command:

update-rc.d ventrilo.sh defaults

The damn thing, however, still won't autoload when the OS boots up. I still have to start Ventrilo manually. I know I am missing something really important, or got some details wrong; a push in the right direction would be awesome. Thanks!

Where is ventrilo.sh located? :\ I thought if you wanted to use the update-rc command it had to be in a special folder. (I'm a Linux Noob)
