#! /bin/sh
start(){

  # If using an SELinux system such as RHEL 4, use the command below
  # instead of the "su":
  # eval "runuser - jboss -c '/opt/jboss/current/bin/run.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &'
  # if the 'su -l ...' command fails (the -l flag is not recognized by my su cmd) try:

I would use the script jboss_init_redhat.sh found in the bin directory of JBoss AS. Change the settings at the start of the file as approriate for your system and place the file into /etc/init.d.

I also add these lines to that file:

# chkconfig: 345 90 10
# description: Runs the JBoss Application Server
# processname: jboss

Then I use the chkconfig tool to set the run level.

(At least, that is what I do for Fedora, hopefully that works for CentOS also!)

I adusted the jboss and java path in jboss_init_redhat.sh

I renamed jboss_init_redhat.sh as jboss and i copied jboss to the following folder

• sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/jboss
  
• sudo chmod ug+x /etc/init.d/jboss
  

• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc3.d/S84jboss
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc4.d/S84jboss
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc5.d/S84jboss  
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc6.d/K15jboss
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc0.d/K15jboss
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc1.d/K15jboss
  
• ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc2.d/K15jboss
  

and i done reboot my server. But jboss is not yet started...

1) *****Please find the attached jboss configuration file*************

    Looking for jboss server should start automatically when the server is up with root user not with jboss user

2) $useradd -d /usr/lib/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA -s /bin/sh jboss

    Creating mailbox file: File exists
    useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
    Not copying any file from skel directory into it.

3) $chkconfig --add jboss

    $service jboss does not support chkconfig

4) $/etc/init.d/jboss start

  output:
  JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr/lib/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin; /usr/lib/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh -c default

  But jboss is not started....
