AIX - Can you verify my assumption? Create Script for Service (daemon)

Hi All,

This is my understanding to start glassfish4 as a service (or daemon) on AIX

$ vi /etc/rc.d/rc2.d

Enter the following:

#!bin/bash
# description: Glassfish Start Stop Restart
# processname: glassfish
# chkconfig: 234 20 80
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java71
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish
GLASSFISH_USER=glassfsh

case $1 in
start)
su $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1"
;;
stop)
su $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1"
;;
restart)
su $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1"
su $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1"
;;
esac
exit 0

Open in new window

Thank you in advance,
Bill

Hi N,

Ok, wouldn't you just
vi /etc/rc.d/init.d

#!/bin/ksh
# description: Glassfish Start Stop Restart
# processname: glassfish
# 
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java71
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish
GLASSFISH_USER=glassfsh

case $1 in
start)
su - $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1"
;;
stop)
su - $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1"
;;
restart)
su - $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1"
su - $GLASSFISH_USER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1"
;;
esac
exit 0

Open in new window

paste the below script into it (i for insert), then save (:wq)

To "create softlinks" - just looked it up.. :)
ln -s S11_Glassfish /etc/rc.d/rc2.d

you may need to explain a bit more on the links?

Awesome, so to test it
So on reboot of the server it automatically executes

/etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish K11glassfish stop

/etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish S11glassfish start

I don't have to do anything else?

I tested it this way:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish restart
[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
Waiting for the domain to stop .
Command stop-domain executed successfully.
[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
Waiting for domain1 to start ........................
Successfully started the domain : domain1
domain Location: /u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1
Log File: /u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
Admin Port: 4848
Command start-domain executed successfully.

and tried to test this way:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish K11glassfish stop

then I tried the GlassFish Admin - but the admin worked, wasn't stopped
Is the only wat to test it by actually rebooting the server?

Thanks N!
Bill

Ohhh I got it.. ya duh,

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K11glassfish
is like an alias (link, duh)

to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish

so
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K11glassfish stop
should do it!

and it did:

# /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K11glassfish stop
[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
Waiting for the domain to stop .
Command stop-domain executed successfully.
# /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S11glassfish start
[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
Waiting for domain1 to start ...............
Successfully started the domain : domain1
domain  Location: /u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1
Log File: /u01/oracle/glassfish/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
Admin Port: 4848
Command start-domain executed successfully.

Whoopee! Fine!

ASKER

you are the man! I'll close this.. thx again!

woolmilkporc

Thx for the points!

A little side note:

The "K" and "S" prefixes are only for AIX to know which parameter to pass to the script.

So

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S11glassfish stop
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K11glassfish start

issued from the command line would also work, counter-intuitevely!
