This appears to me to be a Unix System V init script.  The operating system
that this mailing list deals with is MPE/iX.  While MPE/iX does have a POSIX
compatible shell available I do not believe that the system boot process
possesses the capability to run init.  In fact, I cannot find the init
executable on my HP3000.

I doubt that this can be altered to run on an HP3000.  However, looking at the
script it appears that START_AGENT_CMD is set to "sh $AGENTSH".   AGENTSH is
set to $EXEDIR/agent.sh ("$EXEDIR" should really be inclosed in double quotes
given that a path may contain spaces).

SO, the issue to be checked are the directory and script permissions.  All the
directories in the path "$EXEDIR" need to have 'other' set to read/write
(_rwxrwxr_x/_rwxr_xr_x or chmod 775/755).  Then the script itself needs to have
'other' set to read and execute at a minimum (_rwxr_xr_x or chmod 755).  If the
script "agent.sh" contains references to other executables then these also must
have their permissions checked on the complete path and executable file itself.

HTH.
