Unable to start the Jboss service over init scripts.

[nagarajn]

Hi Team,
I'm unable to start the Jboss on init. I'm using Fedora Core 3 with JAVA 1.5. I copied the jboss_init_redhat.sh. when I start the service its doen't do anything other than echoing the CMD_START. The below is the script that use to start over init. Please help to resolve.
-------------------
JBOSS_HOME=${JBOSS_HOME:-"/SEEMIS/jboss-4.0.1"}

#make java is on your path
JAVAPATH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin"}

#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 all"}

if [ -n "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" -a ! -d "$JBOSS_CONSOLE" ]; then
# ensure the file exists
touch $JBOSS_CONSOLE
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"}

#define the user under which jboss will run, or use RUNASIS to run as the current user
JBOSSUS=${JBOSSUS:-"jboss"}

CMD_START="cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin; $JBOSSSH"
CMD_STOP="java -classpath $JBOSSCP org.jboss.Shutdown --shutdown"

if [ "$JBOSSUS" = "RUNASIS" ]; then
SUBIT=""
else
SUBIT="su - $JBOSSUS -c "
fi

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 CMD_START = $CMD_START


case "$1" in
start)
cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
if [ -z "$SUBIT" ]; then
eval $CMD_START >${JBOSS_CONSOLE} 2>&1 &
else
$SUBIT "$CMD_START >${JBOSS_CONSOLE} 2>&1 &"
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -z "$SUBIT" ]; then
$CMD_STOP
else
$SUBIT "$CMD_STOP"
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 (start|stop|restart|help)"
esac

I might be completely wrong here but change the line

JAVAPATH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin"}

to read

JAVAPTH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin"}

my logic for this is based on looking at the other part of the script that you posted (I still start jboss by hand!). E.g. the JBOSS_HOME line defines as so:

JBOSS_HOME=${JBOSS_HOME:-"/SEEMIS/jboss-4.0.1"}

you note that the variable at the start of the line is the spelt the same as the variable after the ${. In the case of $JAVAPATH it is not, throughout the script A is dropped from the PATH bit.

I know bash scripting - and I've never see vars defined like this! So as I said earlier, this is an assumption right now!

Let me/us know how it goes.

First of all confirm that JBoss works with Java5 (1.5) I am using Blakedown 1.4.2 as I believe thsi is the correct version of VM to use JBoss reliably.

http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossInstallation

As for shell substitutions check out:
http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/bash/html_chapter/bashref_3.html#SEC29

JAVAPATH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin"}

to read:

JAVAPATH=${JAVAPATH:-"/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin"}

that make more sense to me.


FYI I use Fedora Code 3 and use the following to start JBoss as a script /opt/jboss-4.0.2RC1/mystart.sh:

#!/bin/sh
#
JAVA_HOME="/opt/j2sdk1.4.2/"
export JAVA_HOME

PATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH"
export PATH

JAVA_OPTS="-client -Djboss.bind.address=172.16.32.38 -Dprogram.name=jboss"
# -server

#172.16.32.38
# -Xmx100M
# -Dhttp.port=8080 -Djndi.port=1700 -Duil2.port=1000"

# openCRX says:

#JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -b 172.16.32.38"
export JAVA_OPTS

cd /opt/jboss-4.0.2RC1 || exit 1

JBOSS_USER="jboss"
export JBOSS_USER

unset DISPLAY
DISPLAY="odin:0"
export DISPLAY

cd bin
exec ./run.sh -b 172.16.32.38 >../LOG.txt 2>&1
