LSB style header

[zkab]

I have made a fresh installation of 8.10 server edition and want to run a startup script and issued following command but received a warning:

sudo update-rc.d my_start_script defaults

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/my_start_script missing LSB style header

Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/my_start_script ...
/etc/rc0.d/K20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc1.d/K20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc6.d/K20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc2.d/S20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc3.d/S20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc4.d/S20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script
/etc/rc5.d/S20my_start_script -> ../init.d/my_start_script

The script 'my_start_script' is in /etc/init.d and is executable ...
How can I fix this or can I just neglect it

I have the same issue while trying to add a script set my network card to 10Mbs full duplex.

Greetings:

I found a link to this Debian info for startup scripts.

http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/

Adding the below and replacing with the info for my script resolved this for me:

#!/bin/bash
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: defaultdaemon
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start daemon at boot time
# Description: Enable service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO

.... rest of script
