Start Jboss 7 as a Service on Linux

Start JBoss 7 as a service on Linux

After spending a couple of hours of snooping around I ended up creating /etc/init.d/jboss with the following contents

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          jboss
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/Stop JBoss AS v7.0.0
### END INIT INFO
#
#source some script files in order to set and export environmental variables
#as well as add the appropriate executables to $PATH
[ -r /etc/profile.d/java.sh ] && . /etc/profile.d/java.sh
[ -r /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh ] && . /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "Starting JBoss AS 7.0.0"
        #original:
        #sudo -u jboss sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh

        #updated:
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --chuid jboss --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh
    ;;
    stop)
        echo "Stopping JBoss AS 7.0.0"
        #original:
        #sudo -u jboss sh ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-admin.sh --connect command=:shutdown

        #updated:
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --chuid jboss --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-admin.sh -- --connect command=:shutdown
    ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/jboss {start|stop}"
        exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Here's the content of java.sh:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java_current
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

And jboss.sh:

export JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jboss/as/jboss_current
export PATH=$JBOSS_HOME/bin:$PATH

Obviously, you need to make sure, you set JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME appropriate to your environment.

then I ran sudo update-rc.d jboss defaults so that JBoss automatically starts on system boot

I found this article to be helpful in creating the start-up script above. Again, the script above is for Ubuntu (version 10.04 in my case), so using it in Fedora/RedHat or CentOS will probably not work (the setup done in the comments is different for those).

How to configure jboss to run as a service in rhel 7

You can check the coresponding JBoss EAP 7 documentation Installation Guide - Configuring JBoss EAP to run as a Service for detailed information.

Jboss as a service in Linux

I already answered this on serverfault

you have a typo in the first line

#!/bin/bash### BEGIN INIT INFO  
#chkconfig: 345 90 10

it should be

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO  
#chkconfig: 345 90 10

How to start Jboss as 7 in command line

The user guide is pretty clear on how to to this :)

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7UserGuide

I suggest you try the standalone mode first (from the guide above):

If you want to work in standalone mode, open a terminal and cd into the distribution's bin directory, and run the "standalone" launch script:

$ cd bin
$ ./standalone.sh

On Windows:

> cd bin
> standalone.bat

How to start jboss 7.1.1 server and deploy project in jboss 7.1.1

How to configure jboss-eap 6.2 as a service and set Auto-start on CentOS 6.x and Linux1 AMI

Follow the below steps to Configure Jboss6.2 as Service and configure it as Auto restart. The process is same for CentOS 6.x and AWS Linux1 AMI.

1. Copy files into system directories

a. Copy the modified configuration file to the /etc/jboss-as directory.

mkdir /etc/jboss-as

cp /var/lib/jboss-eap-6.2/bin/init.d/jboss-as.conf /etc/jboss-as/

Uncomment following line

JBOSS_USER=root

and add the following line at the end of this file.

export JBOSS_USER

b. Copy the start-up script to the /etc/init.d directory.

cp /var/lib/jboss-eap-6.2/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh /etc/init.d/jboss-62

2. Do following changes in /etc/init.d/jboss-62 file

   i)-Set Java Home JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_60 export JAVA_HOME

   ii)-Set JBOSS Home JBOSS_HOME=/var/lib/jboss-eap-6.2 export JBOSS_HOME

   iii)-Change Configuration xml file name(you may give what ever configuration file name you are using)

   JBOSS_CONFIG=standalone-full.xml

   iv)-Add "-b 0.0.0.0 -bmanagement 0.0.0.0" in the following line, so that binding is set for every IP address on this system

   daemon --user $JBOSS_USER LAUNCH_JBOSS_IN_BACKGROUND=1
JBOSS_PIDFILE=$JBOSS_PIDFILE $JBOSS_SCRIPT -b 0.0.0.0 -bmanagement
0.0.0.0 -c $JBOSS_CONFIG 2>&1 > $JBOSS_CONSOLE_LOG &

3. Add the start-up script as a service.

Add the new jboss-as-standalone.sh ( i.e jboss-62 ) service to list of automatically started services, using the chkconfig command.

chkconfig --add jboss-62

4. Start the service.

   service jboss-62 start

5. Make the service to start automatically when you restart your
   server.

   chkconfig jboss-62 on

6. Restart the service

   service jboss-62 restart

Now Jboss6.2 configuration as a Service as Auto restart is complete.
Reboot os and check that service is running. Run below command ot verify that service is running on port 8080

netstat -aptn | grep LISTEN | grep 8080
