Hi

I want to get JBoss to start on bootup and want to create a daemon for it.

What do I do.

Thanks

Hendrik

Take a look at your /etc/rc.d dir.

All startup services are placed there. You just need to pick which rc.num file Jboss should be called on.

I have created the appropriate startup scripts for run level 3, but are still having problems to get jboss to start automatically. If I run the script manually it seems to work fine, but it does not run if it is in the rc3.d dir. Should I get it to start early or late ? i.e. S01 or S90.

Thanks

Hendrik

here is the script that i use

#!/bin/sh #
# Startup script for JBOSS, the J2EE EJB Server
#
# chkconfig: 2345 95 15
#!/bin/sh #
# Startup script for JBOSS, the J2EE EJB Server
#
# chkconfig: 2345 95 15
# description: JBoss is an EJB Server
# processname: jboss
# pidfile: /var/run/jboss.pid
# config: /usr/local/jboss/conf/default/jboss.conf
# logfile: /usr/local/jboss/log/server.log
#
# version 1.0 -
# version 1.1 - kjenks - Start Tomcat, too.
#
# Source function library. .
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
#SET THE FOLLOWING LINE TO YOUR JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03
#SET THE FOLLOWING LINE TO YOUR CORRECT JBOSS_HOME
export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/jboss
export PATH=$PATH:$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin
echo $PATH
#IF YOU NEED SPECIAL CLASSES IN YOUR CLASSPATH
#AT STARTUP, ADD THEM TO YOUR CLASSPATH HERE
#export CLASSPATH=
RETVAL=0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
echo -n "Starting jboss daemon: "
daemon $JBOSS_HOME/bin/go.sh start
RETVAL=$?
echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/jboss
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping jboss daemon: "

when i run the script (./jboss start root user has read write execute rights) I get the following error:

#: #: No such file or directory

I have fixed the problem and the JBoss startup script now works nicely.

I have created a script called jboss that resides in /etc/init.d with root execute permissions. From here I create a startup symbolic link in /etc/rc3.d called S65Jboss and a stop symbolic link called K16Jboss that kills the daemon.

Works like a dream.

Here is the jboss script

You also require a go.sh script in the JBOSS_HOME directory like this:

##########################################

#!/bin/bash
export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/jboss
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03
JAVACMD=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
# Minimal jar file to get JBoss started.
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.jar
# Add the tools.jar file so that Tomcat can find the Java compiler.
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar"
if [ "$1" = "start" ] ; then
shift
$JAVACMD $JBOSS_OPTS -classpath $CLASSPATH org.jboss.Main .c tomcat > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo $! > /var/run/jboss.pid
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ] ; then
shift
kill -15 `cat /var/run/jboss.pid`
rm -rf /var/run/jboss.pid
elif [ "$1" = "run" ] ; then
shift
$JAVACMD $JBOSS_OPTS -classpath $CLASSPATH org.jboss.Main .c tomcat "$@"
else
echo "Usage:"
echo "jboss (start|run|stop)"
echo " start - start jboss in the background"
echo " run - start jboss in the foreground"
echo " stop - stop jboss"
exit 0
fi

Thats it implement these and make sure that JBOSS_HOME and JAVA_HOME point to your JBoss installed dir and your JDK installed dir respectfully and your set.


Cheers

this is cool.... i will have a try on it....

Magic Script !!!!!

thank a lot !!!!
