service - Debian start-stop-daemon. Java start jar File -

i have command in shellscript in /etc/init.d/

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/$name.pid --background --exec /usr/bin/java -jar /home/username/myjar.jar  

if execute error

start-stop-daemon: unable stat /usr/bin/java -jar /home/username/myjar.jar (no such file or directory) 

if execute

/usr/bin/java -jar /home/username/myjar.jar  

in commandline fine .. don't mistake :(

try this:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/$name.pid \     --background \     --exec /usr/bin/java -- -jar /home/username/myjar.jar 

it seems need separate executable (here /usr/bin/java argument --.

(oh, change uid appropriate user; root should not required)
