I do not understand why would you mess with update-rc.d.
If I wanted to have some already existent /etc/init.d script echo some
messages or write them to a file I would add the right commands to the script.
I might have save the original script before changing it. But all those
actions have nothing to do with update-rc.d.
update-rc.d (or any other method that was mentioned here) might be handy for
example when you want a program to start at boot time AND it is not done so by
defualt. Yet if you couldn't get such a program to run then messing with the
/etc/init.d scripts seems to me premature.
I hope I make sense. Perhaps you should post more details about what your
problem is?

Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself who will be for me?
Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?
