Hello, I've come across the same bug while trying to set up a new service at work.
After some digging (we've currently got a mishmash of Jessie and Buster systems, not all of them have been upgraded yet) I discovered that the init script, such as it is, is identical in all versions, and it is not actually the problem. Running the init script manually gave the following output: rhouben@networking-lab-rh:/var/log/uwsgi$ sudo /etc/init.d/uwsgi-emperor start [ ok ] Starting uwsgi-emperor (via systemctl): uwsgi-emperor.service. ... Whereas on a system still running Jessie I got: shadur@radius-srv-dc25:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/uwsgi-emperor restart [....] Restarting uWSGI Emperor server: uwsgi[uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /etc/uwsgi-emperor/emperor.ini setting capability setgid [6] setting capability setuid [7] . ok The issue arose because the init script isn't so much a script as it's a set of variables plugged into the init.d helper scripts, and /those/ have changed drastically from Jessie to Buster and onwards to call systemctl -- but in uwsgi-emperor's case there doesn't appear to /be/ a systemd service file to call on, so it quietly fails and does nothing at all. I'm currently writing at least a rudimentary systemd service file for uwsgi-emperor to see if that makes it work; I can share it once I finish if you'd like. --Rens Houben.
