Hi Everyone,

I created a run.sh file to run executable jar in Linux.it will working fine.Now i need to this run.sh file run as services.So i created a script as follows,

Code:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.status
rc_reset
case "$1" in
    start)
	echo -n "Trigger the Report"
	startproc /usr/Trigger/run.sh
	
 
	rc_status -v
	;;
esac
rc_exit

and I named it as rc.TcStart.Then i run in terminal as,

Code:

service rc.TcStart start

then i got the below error.

Code:

service rc.TcStart start
Trigger the reportstartproc:  cannot execute /usr/Trigger/run.sh: Exec format error

Please tell anyone how to solve this or how can i create service for jar file.

Thanks,

Ashok

I think startproc can only execute binaries, shell scripts cannot be started.

you can convert any shell script to binary. It is called shc.

I think the shell script just needs to be marked executable.
