Services in Linux using .sh file

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.

Then how can i run sh file as service.please tell me how to do it.

Thanks,
Ashok

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

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