I think I found another bug with the linux installer on 8.0.0.38.
We launch the installer, under Centos 6.7, using the following command line:
./DeadlineClient-8.0.0.38-beta-linux-x64-installer.run --mode text
Everything works, but when the installer finishes is complains about “/bin/sh: /etc/init.d/deadline8launcherservice: No such file or directory”
However; the file “/etc/init.d/deadline8launcher” exists and we can start the service manually using this file.
I noticed that the Deadline7 launcher has the full name so I’m guessing the init script needs to be renamed.
