Auto-starting in Linux and Solaris 9 environments

Top Previous Next

For Linux and Solaris 9 environments you may have JSCAPE MFT Server Service start up automatically during system startup by creating a service configuration file for JSCAPE MFT Server Service and placing it in your /etc/init.d directory. This same configuration file will be used for gracefully stopping the JSCAPE MFT Server Service when shutting down the system. A sample service configuration file, jscape, has been placed in the init.d directory of your JSCAPE MFT Server installation.

Installing the service configuration file

1. As root user, copy the jscape sample service configuration file to your /etc/init.d directory.

2. Grant execute permissions to this file using the command chmod 755 jscape

3. Using a text editor, change the value of the INSTALL_DIR variable to the absolute path of your JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory. The default value for the INSTALL_DIR variable is /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server which is consistent with Linux RPM installations. Your installation directory may vary.

4. Set this script to be executed automatically upon system startup using the following command(s):

Linux

/sbin/chkconfig --add jscape

Solaris 9

ln /etc/init.d/jcsape /etc/rc3.d/Sxxjscape

ln /etc/init.d/jcsape /etc/rc0.d/Kxxjscape

Note

If you are running under Ubuntu environment then the chkconfig command is not available. Instead you must run the following command as root user from /etc/init.d directory.

update-rc.d jscape defaults

Starting the service

From the /etc/init.d directory and as root user run the command ./jscape start to start the service.

Stopping the service

From the /etc/init.d directory and as root user run the command ./jscape stop to stop the service.

Restarting the service

From the /etc/init.d directory and as root user run the command ./jscape restart to restart the service.
