Which ssh starup script is invoked by ubuntu?

  • 772

I am trying to run two sshd processes, one for admin and one for sftp. Ubuntu 14.04 on digital ocean has both upstart in '/etc/init/ssh' and init.d in '/etc/init.d/ssh`.

Is this just digitalocean or all 14.04?

Which one launches sshd? And which isn't being used / can i delete?

So far I've read each file and The files do not reference each other.

ssh init.d ubuntu-14.04 upstart

  1. Figured this one out.

    find /etc/rc* | grep ssh

    Seeing that there is no link to the /etc/init.d/ssh file is a clear indication the service isn't started from there.

    Just to be safe I threw an echo "foobar" >> initd.txt into the /etc/init.d/ssh file and an echo "foobar" >> /root/upstart.txt into the /etc/init/ssh.conf file. reboot and found the upstart.txt in the /root directory.

    So the answer is the job isn't started unless rc launches it.
