Previous versions of JBoss included a scripts (like jboss_init_redhat.sh
) that could be copied to /etc/init.d in order to add it as a service - so it would start on boot up. I can't seem to find any similar scripts in JBoss 7. Has anyone already done something like this?
P.S. I'm trying to achieve this in Ubuntu 10.04
After spending a couple of hours of snooping around I ended up creating /etc/init.d/jboss
with the following contents
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: jboss
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/Stop JBoss AS v7.0.0
### END INIT INFO
#
#source some script files in order to set and export environmental variables
#as well as add the appropriate executables to $PATH
[ -r /etc/profile.d/java.sh ] && . /etc/profile.d/java.sh
[ -r /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh ] && . /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting JBoss AS 7.0.0"
#original:
#sudo -u jboss sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh
#updated:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --chuid jboss --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping JBoss AS 7.0.0"
#original:
#sudo -u jboss sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-admin.sh --connect command=:shutdown
#updated:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --chuid jboss --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-admin.sh -- --connect command=:shutdown
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/jboss {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Here's the content of java.sh
:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java_current
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
And jboss.sh
:
export JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jboss/as/jboss_current
export PATH=$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$PATH
Obviously, you need to make sure, you set JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME appropriate to your environment.
then I ran sudo update-rc.d jboss defaults
so that JBoss automatically starts on system boot
I found this article to be helpful in creating the start-up script above. Again, the script above is for Ubuntu (version 10.04 in my case), so using it in Fedora/RedHat or CentOS will probably not work (the setup done in the comments is different for those).
