This script requires root privileges

[Kendjr]

I have jasperserver running on an aws ec2 instance.  The server is working.

I would like to set it up so that it automatically restarts if the server reboots. I followed the instructions and created the jasperserver file, copied it into teh init.d folder.

When I test it with the command:

sudo service jasperserver status

I receive this error:

This script requires root privileges

I thought the "sudo" command would allow my current user (ec2-user) to run this?

Also, when I execute the chkconfig command:

sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add jasperserver

I receive an error:

service jasperserver does not support chkconfig

Can you tell me what could be wrong, why I can't get the auto restart working?

Thanks,

Ken
