Hello everyone,
I recently tried to install and run Felix 3.0.2 on Gentoo Linux. For this
purpose, I created a start script to start and stop Felix depending on the
current runlevel (see below). Gentoo's start-stop-daemon usually is a great
choice to achieve that goal, but in this case, I am running into the following
issues:
When I start Felix using /etc/init.d/felix start, I can see the process as well
as the shell's output in the logs. However, as soon as I log out, the felix
process is killed immediately (despite the --background option to the
start-stop-daemon). In addition, when I start typing in the shell that was used
to start Felix, e. g. to do a "ps aux" to list the running processes", every
second character hit is not echoed to the shell.
All this indicated a connection to the Felix shell (gogo), and the only way to
solve the problem was by removing all gogo bundles from <felix_home>/bundle.
After that, the start-stop-daemon behaved as intended and the login shell kept
working as expected.
Now I guess my question would be: did I miss anything, i. e. is there a way to
start felix using java -jar <felix_home/felix.jar that starts felix in a daemon
mode?
Thanks for any hint on this!
Tobias
