i used the following script for add the jboss service in my server we are using CentOS 5.6.

#!/bin/sh
#
# JBoss Control Script
#
# chkconfig: 3 80 20
# description: JBoss EJB Container
#
# To use this script
# run it as root - it will switch to the specified user
# It loses all console output - use the log.
#
# Here is a little (and extremely primitive)
# startup/shutdown script for RedHat systems. It assumes
# that JBoss lives in /usr/local/jboss, it's run by user
# 'jboss' and JDK binaries are in /usr/local/jdk/bin. All
# this can be changed in the script itself.
# Bojan
#
# Either amend this script for your requirements
# or just ensure that the following variables are set correctly
# before calling the script

# [ #420297 ] JBoss startup/shutdown for RedHat

#define where jboss is - this is the directory containing directories log, bin, conf etc
JBOSS_HOME=${JBOSS_HOME:-"/opt/jboss-4.0.2"}

#make java is on your path
JAVAPTH=${JAVAPTH:-"/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/bin"}

#define the classpath for the shutdown class

#define the script to use to start jboss

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:-"root"}

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

if [ "$JBOSSUS" = "RUNASIS" ]; then

else

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


this was the default script given by jboss

i add the new file in /etc/init.d file. the file name is jboss and copied the above mentioned script in this file with execute permission

i added this service permanetly use chkconfig --add jboss

fine now i start my service.

#service jboss start after start my service it show like this

CMD_START = cd /opt/jboss-4.0.2/bin; /opt/jboss-4.0.2/bin/run.sh

after start my service i moved to log file and execute the following command it shows the folling log information

[root@localhost log]# tail -f server.log
