Perhaps your JAVA_HOME Environment Variable is null, if it occurs, you should specify the path of java home by passing parameter.

chkconfig --list | grep gtdreportsvrd

You should get similar output

gtdreportsvrd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:of

If you have not install chkconfig, you can try the following command:

service jrep2excelsvrd start

5. You can now reboot your system to test the installation:

shutdown -r now

1. Logon server as root or swift to root.

su root

chkconfig --del gtdreportsvrd

rm /etc/init.d/gtdreportsvrd
