SYSTEM V /bin/sh initialization scripts between Lenny and Ubuntu Server 9.04

Wed Mar 24 15:57:57 MST 2010

What happened?

I was able to get an application to start with the same /bin/sh script that
ran on Lenny, but will not run in Ubuntu LTS Serrver?

It's telling me the user path and file path are not there.
