Raspbian: automatic restart of minimserver after reboot doesn't work

[catsup]

Fortunately, I managed to solve the java issue (thnx to Simon) on my RPI 2.

In general, minimserver works fine, streams music etc. Great!

However, unfortunately, the automatic restart of minimserver doesn't work.
To avoid any other conflict with the installation attempt and the java issue, I uninstalled minimserver (using the keep config option which led to another issue when re-installing - details as below) and finally re-installed minimserver from scratch. It again works fine except for the automatic restart.

Here are the details:

While uninstalling I have chosen to keep the config file.

During re-installation, this error occurred:
un-taring done before
pi@bwtmusic:~ $ minimserver/bin/setup
mv: der Aufruf von stat für '/home/pi/.minimserver/bin/setup' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
pi@bwtmusic:~ $

So the setup program in .minimserver was not found.
I played arround for a while but figured to throw away e.th. and start from scratch as I doen't have much (config etc.) to loose:

rm -rf ./minimserver

So far so good, then I reboot the Raspi ...

I *believe* s.th. is wrong in /etc/init.d/minimserver, but I am not sure what.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
