Syntax error of ";; unexpected" on simple init script for Debian

Question

I have this init script to run uwsgi. It works, but only on the start command. All the other commands give me this error:

/etc/init.d/uwsgi: 27: /etc/init.d/uwsgi: Syntax error: ";;" unexpected

It seems like the colons should be there from the tutorials I am reading, and yet it is telling me to remove them?

Answer 1

Get rid of the esac keywords before the ;;s. There should only be one at the very end to match the initial case keyword.
