Info: Startup Script

[exabrial <ex...@gmail.com>]

This should probably go on the wiki... but I don't know where. Anyway, Ubuntu
includes a 'better' way of starting services at boot. It's called upstart,
and the scripts are far more human readable. This same script can also be
used to run vanilla Tomcat.

/etc/init/tomee.conf


description "Apache TomEE Server"

# Make sure the file system and network devices have started before
# we begin the daemon
start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)

# Stop the event daemon on system shutdown
stop on shutdown

# Respawn the process on unexpected termination
respawn

env HOME=/home/tomee

# The meat and potatoes
exec sudo -u tomee /home/tomee/apache-tomee-webprofile-1.0.0/bin/catalina.sh
run 



This script is loosely based on a lot of internet searches, so credit goes
to the internet.
The script assumes the server will run as the user tomee and that the server
is installed to /home/tomee
To actually start/stop the server, simply type *sudo service tomee
[start|stop|restart]*

startup.sh terminates
catalina.sh blocks

We couldn't use the respawn after a crash if we use startup.sh

Is there a particular advantage to using startup.sh that I'm not aware of?

hmm,

why catalina.sh run? why not start? and why not using catalina.sh stop for
shutdown?
