How to find the file location of int.d scripts in ubuntu

Question

I need location of a init.d script.

I am using service cinder-api start to start the service

Other init scripts are located at /etc/init.d/ location. But this service is not found in that location , its starting and stopping using service cinder-api start, so there must be some init script for that.

How can I find the absolute path of that init script

Solution

Well, the usual suspects are:

1. /etc/init
2. /etc/init.d
3. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
4. /etc/default
