seems like your shell does not support bash-like function definitions.
Which shell are you using?

Maybe a workaround: If your distribution also supports systemd, here is
a systemd service file that obsoletes the init script:


[Unit]
Description=Data Logging Service Daemon
Requires=localfs.service
After=localfs.service
After=syslog.target

[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/dls
ExecStart=/opt/etherlab/dlsd -n 4096
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
