[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - How to run JBoss as a service/daemon in RedHat?
I am using JBoss 5.1.0 GA on Red Hat (Amazon ECS)...
Am trying to set it up so JBoss will run as a service / daemon (right now it only starts
up when I manually SSH and invoke sh $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh).
Here's what I did so far:
(1) Created the following jboss script in /etc/init.d/:
| #define where jboss is - this is the directory containing directories log, bin, conf
etc
| JBOSS_HOME=${JBOSS_HOME:-"/usr/jboss-5.1.0.GA"}
|
| #define the user under which jboss will run, or use 'RUNASIS' to run as the
current user
| JBOSS_USER=${JBOSS_USER:-"jboss"}
|
| #make sure java is in your path
| JAVAPTH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/java/jdk/bin"}
|
| #configuration to use, usually one of 'minimal', 'default',
'all'
| JBOSS_CONF=${JBOSS_CONF:-"default"}
|
| #if JBOSS_HOST specified, use -b to bind jboss services to that address
| JBOSS_BIND_ADDR=${JBOSS_HOST:+"-b $JBOSS_HOST"}
|
| #define the classpath for the shutdown class
|
JBOSSCP=${JBOSSCP:-"$JBOSS_HOME/bin/shutdown.jar:$JBOSS_HOME/client/jnet.jar"}
|
| #define the script to use to start jboss
| JBOSSSH=${JBOSSSH:-"$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -c $JBOSS_CONF
$JBOSS_BIND_ADDR"}
|
| if [ "$JBOSS_USER" = "RUNASIS" ]; then
| SUBIT=""
| else
| SUBIT="su - $JBOSS_USER -c "
| fi
|
| if [ -n "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" -a ! -d "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" ]; then
| # ensure the file exists
| touch $JBOSS_CONSOLE
| if [ ! -z "$SUBIT" ]; then
| chown $JBOSS_USER $JBOSS_CONSOLE
| fi
| fi
|
| if [ -n "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" -a ! -f "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" ]; then
| echo "WARNING: location for saving console log invalid: $JBOSS_CONSOLE"
| echo "WARNING: ignoring it and using /dev/null"
| JBOSS_CONSOLE="/dev/null"
| fi
|
| #define what will be done with the console log
| JBOSS_CONSOLE=${JBOSS_CONSOLE:-"/dev/null"}
|
| JBOSS_CMD_START="cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin; $JBOSSSH"
| JBOSS_CMD_STOP=${JBOSS_CMD_STOP:-"java -classpath $JBOSSCP org.jboss.Shutdown
--shutdown"}
|
| if [ -z "`echo $PATH | grep $JAVAPTH`" ]; then
| export PATH=$PATH:$JAVAPTH
| fi
|
| if [ ! -d "$JBOSS_HOME" ]; then
| echo JBOSS_HOME does not exist as a valid directory : $JBOSS_HOME
| exit 1
| fi
|
| echo JBOSS_CMD_START = $JBOSS_CMD_START
|
| case "$1" in
| start)
| cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
| if [ -z "$SUBIT" ]; then
| eval $JBOSS_CMD_START >${JBOSS_CONSOLE} 2>&1 &
| else
| $SUBIT "$JBOSS_CMD_START >${JBOSS_CONSOLE} 2>&1 &"
| fi
| ;;
| stop)
| if [ -z "$SUBIT" ]; then
| $JBOSS_CMD_STOP
| else
| $SUBIT "$JBOSS_CMD_STOP"
| fi
| ;;
| restart)
| $0 stop
| $0 start
| ;;
| *)
| echo "usage: $0 (start|stop|restart|help)"
| esac
|
(2) Made script executable and changed ownership by doing the following:
| sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/jboss
| sudo chmod ug+x /etc/init.d/jboss
|
(3) When I tried to start it, I received the following output (and JBoss didn't
start):
| JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr/jboss-5.1.0.GA/bin; /usr/jboss-5.1.0.GA/bin/run.sh -c
default
|
Questions:
(1) What am I possibly doing wrong?
(2) How do I set it up so it runs as root user? Do I have to add a JBoss group and a JBoss
user?
I can manually run JBoss through $JBOSS_HOME/bin but would love to have it running all the
time...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
