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...
