Stop/start Archiva from cron

We need to stop/start Archiva overnight to allow for backups etc. The cron to stop it seems to work OK, but when trying to start Archiva from a cron job we get the following in the wrapper*.log and it fails to start:

STATUS | wrapper  | 2008/01/17 06:00:01 | --> Wrapper Started as Daemon
STATUS | wrapper  | 2008/01/17 06:00:01 | Launching a JVM...
ERROR  | wrapper  | 2008/01/17 06:00:01 | Unable to start JVM: No such file or directory (2)
ERROR  | wrapper  | 2008/01/17 06:00:01 | Unable to start a JVM
STATUS | wrapper  | 2008/01/17 06:00:01 | <-- Wrapper Stopped

The crontab for the user under which Archiva is run is

00 20 * * *     /home/devadmin/Tools/apache-archiva-1.0/bin/linux-x86-32/run.sh stop > /home/devadmin/Tools/archiva_stop.log
00 06 * * *     /home/devadmin/Tools/apache-archiva-1.0/bin/linux-x86-32/run.sh start > /home/devadmin/Tools/archiva_start.log

I am stumped to see why the stop works, but the start doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas or ideas on how I can get more info in the wrapper*.log file to see what file/directory cannot be found?

Re: Stop/start Archiva from cron

Posted by Brett Porter <br...@gmail.com>.
it might be a missing JAVA_HOME environment variable?

The wrapper probably doesn't use Java to stop it.
