/etc/init.d/ script file generating permission denied error

问题

I have a local neo4j-community-3.5.6 directory with a database on an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine.

I want to start this service at start-up so I created a neo4j script in /etc/init.d and sym-linked it to the directory /etc/rcS.d

If the start-up script is like:

./home/my_user/custom_folder/neo4j-community-3.5.6/bin/neo4j start

the service starts properly and I can access it from the local network.

However, if I modify the default /etc/init.d script released by the neo4j community as follows:

#!/bin/sh

the service does not start, even trying sudo service neo4j start. Looking at the journalctl -xe output as suggested, I notice this permission error:

Jul 04 14:42:14 my-machine neo4j[3155]: /home/my_user/custom_folder/neo4j-community-3.5.6/bin/neo4j: line 450: /home/my_user/custom_folder/neo4j-community-3.5.6/logs/neo4j.log: Permission denied

I looked at the permissions of the files in /etc/init.d and they look fine to me. Since the service in the first case starts, I assume it's not a problem of the file /home/my_user/custom_folder/neo4j-community-3.5.6/bin/neo4j either.

What can it be causing this problem?
