Really useful. It helped me a lot. thaks

Life saver, thank you for your scripts.

Made a few changes to get the job done for Ubuntu 14.04.5:

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          jboss-as
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/Stop JBoss AS v7.1.1
### END INIT INFO
#

1. Modified to run under #!/bin/bash otherwise when starting while the count was running out would show let unknown and not count thus not starting jboss
2. Include the default run levels so sym links are done with: update-rc.d jboss-as defaults (assuming your script name is jboss-as)
