Installation Guide › Configure JBoss as a Linux Daemon

Configure JBoss as a Linux Daemon

When you configure the JBoss application daemon as a web service, it automatically launches when you restart the computer.

Follow these steps:

Copy the jboss_linux_service.sh file from the CA GovernanceMinder installation package, located in this directory;
```
gm_install/eurekify-jboss/bin/
```
To the following directory:
```
/etc/init.d
```
Note: gm_install is the CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.
Rename the file JBoss.
Open the jboss_linux_service.sh file for editing, and replace all instances of gm_install with the actual installation path.
Verify the file permissions.

Example: Configure JBoss as a Linux Daemon Script

This example shows you how to create a script to configure JBoss as a Linux daemon.

Copy and paste the following script in this directory:
```
/etc/rc.d/init.d
```

As root (su - root) type vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss and paste as follows:

#! /bin/sh


start(){
        echo "Starting jboss.."
        su -l root -c ' gm_install/eurekify-jboss/bin/eurekify.sh  > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &'
}

stop(){
        echo "Stopping jboss.."
        su -l root -c ' gm_install/eurekify-jboss/bin/shutdown.sh -S &'
}
restart(){
        stop
# give stuff some time to stop before we restart
        sleep 60
# protect against any services that cannot stop before we restart (warning this kills all Java instances running as 'jboss' user)
        su -l root -c 'killall java'
        start
}

case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  restart)
        restart
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: jboss {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0

Change the permissions of the file with the following command:
```
chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/jboss
```

Create links that you use to identify JBoss start and stop run levels.

For example, (create as root):

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc3.d/S84jboss

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc5.d/S84jboss

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc4.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

Test the script by running it with the following commands:
```
Run JBoss:
```
```
/etc/init.d/jboss start
```
The CA GovernanceMinder server becomes available in a few moments.
```
Stop JBoss:
```
```
/etc/init.d/jboss stop
```
You have configured the JBoss application daemon as a web service, and it automatically launches when you restart the computer.
