Jboss as a service

[rasa]

Hi,

I am using jboss 4.2.3 GA. I am starting jboss using

nohup ./run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=221.1.1.172 &

If i want to give it on service how i will give that.

su -l  -c 'nohup /usr1/second-jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=221.1.1.172 &' - jboss

I tried  this command through the console and nothing happens or i am not understanding what is happening . So i guess it is wrong. Anyway i am playing with it. Please help with your suggestions and guidance.

Thanks And Regards

Rasa.

Hi Rasa,

Though I have not tried making JBoss startup as a service. I know that there are a few scripts that can take care of this functionality.

You may use the scripts:

jboss_init_redhat.sh

jboss_init_hpux.sh

jboss_init_suse.sh

for making JBoss start as a service. These scripts are present in the JBOSS_HOME/bin/

Hope it helps.

Hi Rohit,

I am starting jboss by using following commnad

nohup ./run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=211.1.1.172 &

and from bin dir when i execute

sh jboss_init_redhat.sh stop

It is giving following messages

JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr1/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin; /usr1/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -c default

No JBossas is currently running

I thik it is not getting the bind address. Either that have to be hardcoded in the script or i have to pass it as an argument. Let me try all this.

Thanks for your guidance.

Yes the issue is solved.

1) Make a file with the name jboss, if more than one instance is there then make  jboss1, jboss2 etc and copy the belwo content in to that file. Change the file path, jnp port , binding address etc

start(){
        echo "Starting jboss.."
       
su -l -c 'nohup /usr1/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=211.1.1.172 &' - jboss

}

stop(){
        echo "Stopping jboss ...."
su -l -c 'nohup /usr1/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/shutdown.sh --server 211.1.1.172:1099 &' - jboss
}

restart(){
        stop
# give stuff some time to stop before we restart
       sleep 60
# protect against any services that can't stop before we restart (warning this kills all Java instances running as 'jboss' user)
# if the 'su -l ...' command fails try:
        start
}

Thanks and Regards
