Hello, I've just finished installing Atlassian's bamboo it comes with two ways to start it up one through a bash shell script bamboo.sh and another through java script (this one is better as it has the ability to start up the service if it got shutdown for any reason) so I'm wondering how can I set this service to start on boot.. I know how to set a script on login in my profile though not on boot.. any suggestion? I've looked around about none interactive shells and so on.. so if I did a symbolic link from bamboo.sh script to /etc/init.d would that work? what about variables inside the script would they b read ? obviously a newbie here so appreciate any detailed explanation if possible about interactive/ none interactive shells and of course if theres an advice about how to solve this issue.. PS: trying to educate myself about linux along the way so any explanation would be greatly appreciated... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Open a copy of an existing init script, and start hacking (sexy). Wait till rhel moves away from that archaic sys v like stuff into a more intelligent system like smf (super lusty) but that might be a while:) jlc
Depending on the script placing it in /etc/init.d could work (with appropriate symlinks to /etc/rc.x) however does the script follwo standard behaviour for /etc/init.d scripts? (eg start, stop, restart, status.....) .... If you just want the script/java file called you could just pop it into /etc/rc.local to run at the end of the start up sequence (you might need to & to background it) ... with the reminder that it will only run at startup then. To run it at other times you would need nohup <scriptname> & that would prevent it ending when you log out or you close a terminal window (thus exiting the parent shell). 2009/12/7 Roland Roland <R_O_L_A_N_D at hotmail.com>> Hello, > > I've just finished installing Atlassian's bamboo > <http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/> > it comes with two ways to start it up one through a bash shell script > bamboo.sh > and another through java script (this one is better as it has the ability > to start up the service if it got shutdown for any reason) > > so I'm wondering how can I set this service to start on boot.. > I know how to set a script on login in my profile though not on boot.. > > any suggestion? > I've looked around about none interactive shells and so on.. so if I did a > symbolic link from bamboo.sh script to /etc/init.d would that work? > what about variables inside the script would they b read ? > > obviously a newbie here so appreciate any detailed explanation if possible > about interactive/ none interactive shells and of course if theres an advice > about how to solve this issue.. > > PS: trying to educate myself about linux along the way so any explanation > would be greatly appreciated... > > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

DO NOT ASSUME ANY LOGIN ENVIRONMENT. Take a look at /etc/init.d/smartd as an example init script, as this is a fairly simple one. your script should have a comment on top something like... #!/bin/sh # # bamboo Starts the bamboo service # # chkconfig: 345 05 95 # description: blahblah blahdablah blah # .... the important line there is chkconfig: whihc in this case says, by default you want this service run at run levels 3,4,5, and it is to be started at priority 05 and stopped at priority 95 (lower means sooner ni the order of things) after putting that script in /etc/init.d, then... service bamboo {start|stop} will manuallly start/stop this service, and chkconfig bamboo on and that will configure it to run at startup per those chkconfig options.
