[JBoss-user] here's a simple start/stop script

[David W. <dav...@do...>]

I've looked through the mail archives, and it looks like people's 
previous attempts at a jboss start/stop script suitable for /etc/init.d 
are overly complex, especially since they are copying what's in the run 
scripts and if JBoss decides to change those, people's custom scripts 
have to change.

So.... here's something a bit easier I threw together (only tested on 
RedHat Linux 7.1):

-- snip --

#!/bin/sh

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1
export JBOSS_HOME=/data/packages/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss

case "$1" in
	start)
		DIR=`pwd`
		cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
		nohup ./run_with_tomcat.sh 1> /tmp/jboss.log 2>&1 &
		cd $DIR
		;;
	stop)
		$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp $JBOSS_HOME/lib/ext/jboss.jar org.jboss.Shutdown
		;;
	*)
		echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
		exit 1
esac

-- snip --

The only thing I see funky happening is that I get a lot less output on 
shutdown then when I used to do a Control-C.  Is this OK?

Also, if you have a jboss user (or nobody user) that you'd rather this 
process run as, you might want to "su -c" (or something similar) the 
process.

Hope this helps,
David
