Jira autostart problem ubuntu

Question

I was trying to autostart JIRA from this guide https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/starting-jira-automatically-on-linux-720411810.html. I performed step 8.

But really do not understand what went wrong.

Now here is the issue:

I entered : /etc/init.d/jira start

Output: none

I entered: systemctl status jira.service

Output:

jira.service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/jira; generated)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-10-03 15:07:42 PKT; 1min 18s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  Process: 21058 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/jira start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

softrix-server systemd[1]: Starting jira.service...

softrix-server systemd[1]: jira.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Please help on how to fix init script so I can start jira

Well I managed to get the init script /etc/init.d/jira to work
BTW I am using Ubuntu.

But the problem now is I am still not able to start JIRA at startup.

I ran this

update-rc.d jira defaults

command from this guide https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/starting-jira-automatically-on-linux-828796713.html?os_destination=%2Fjirakb%2Fstarting-jira-automatically-on-linux-828796713.html

But unable to understand on how to run these commands so the process is complete and it can auto start at startup.

Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/jira ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc1.d/K20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc6.d/K20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc2.d/S20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc3.d/S20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc4.d/S20jira -> ../init.d/jira
   /etc/rc5.d/S20jira -> ../init.d/jira

Please guide me on how to run these commands?

There is actually no startup script for linux distributions that are using systemd: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-42000

You should find this post useful, here's an example on how to create a JIRA service for systemd: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Re-CentOS-7-systemd-startup-scripts-for-Jira-Fisheye/qaq-p/157581/comment-id/66079#M66079

In the meantime, you can also start JIRA via $JIRA_INSTALL/bin/start-jira.sh
