I have no such diretory in my debian system; I searched for lock file 
for gnugk and couldn't find;

I did, my script is as follows:

----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

GKEXE=/usr/local/bin/gnugk
GKPID=/var/run/gnugk.pid
GKCONFIG=/etc/gnugk/gnugk.ini
LOGFILE=/var/log/gnugk

[ -x $GKEXE ] || exit 0

[ -f $GKCONFIG ] || exit 0

prog=gnugk

RETVAL=0

start () {
    [ -f $LOGFILE ] && mv -f $LOGFILE $LOGFILE.bak
    echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    # start daemon
    $GKEXE -c $GKCONFIG -o $LOGFILE -tt > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    RETVAL=$?
    [ $RETVAL = 0 ]
    echo
    return $RETVAL
}

stop () {
    # stop daemon
    echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
    killall $GKEXE
    RETVAL=$?
    echo
    return $RETVAL
}

restart () {
    stop
    start
    RETVAL=$?
    return $RETVAL
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
    start)
         start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    status)
        status $GKEXE
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
    restart)
        restart
        ;;
    reload)
        kill -HUP `cat $GKPID`
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
    *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
        RETVAL=1
esac

exit $RETVAL
-----------------------------------------------------

I copied it to /etc/init.d/ directory, make it +x, updated rc.X links 
(update-rc.d gnugk defaults 98)
and still can't get it start with system;
If I start/restart/stop gnugk with this script manually (invoke-rc.d 
gnugk start/restart/stop) it works correctly, but in time system is 
booting it doesn't;
As I wrote before, I added env. variables (pwlib, openh323...) to 
/etc/profile;
In my logs I have nothing....
Maybe you know, what thing is done first while system booting:
invoking rc.X scripts or setting variables from /etc/profile???
Maybe while rc.X scrits are invoked, there are no pwlib,openh323 
variables because /etc/profile is not yet proceeded and that is why 
gnugk doesn't start?
Maybe this is the problem....
I have no other ideas....

Please help
