It seems like the colons should be there from the tutorials I am reading, and yet it is telling me to remove them?
/etc/init.d/uwsgi: 27: /etc/init.d/uwsgi: Syntax error: ";;" unexpected
Here is my code:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: uwsgi

# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Description: This script manages uWSGI.

Answer 1

The proper syntax for the case statement is:
case expression in
pattern1)
statements
;;
pattern2)
statements
;;
esac
i.e. just closed with a single esac at the end. Anything else is just going to cause a syntax error.
You can feed scripts into ShellCheck, which does on-line script checking and will indicate where the syntax error is (which you can highlight in the input that you're pasting in here).
