Below are steps to make ActiveMQ a Linux Daemon on Red Hat 4 ES.
It's based on
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/l-secjav.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Settings:
- JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk1.5.0_06
- ActiveMQ?=/opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Java JDK
1. Install Sun Java JDK on /opt/java/ directory.
2. Create a shortcut to JDK directory:
# sudo ln -s /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_06 /opt/java/java
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ActiveMQ
1. Install ActiveMQ on /opt/activemq/ directory.
2. Make ActiveMQ startup and shutdown scripts executable:
# sudo chmod +x /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/activemq
# sudo chmod +x /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/shutdown
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ActiveMQ as Linux Daemon
1. Create activemq user:
# sudo /usr/sbin/useradd activemq
2. Create ActiveMQ startup script /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh with the
following content:
#!/bin/bash
export JDK_HOME=/opt/java/java
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java
/opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/activemq &
3. Make /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh executable:
# sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh
4. Create ActiveMQ shutdown script /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh with the
following content:
#!/bin/bash
export JDK_HOME=/opt/java/java
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java
/opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/shutdown
5. Make /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh executable:
# sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh
6. Create ActiveMQ Linux service configuration script /etc/init.d/activemq
with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
#
# activemq Starts ActiveMQ.
#
#
# chkconfig: 345 88 12
# description: ActiveMQ is a JMS Messaging Queue Server.
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: $activemq
### END INIT INFO
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
[ -f /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh ] || exit 0
[ -f /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh ] || exit 0
RETVAL=0
umask 077
start() {
echo -n $"Starting ActiveMQ: "
daemon /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh
echo
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Shutting down ActiveMQ: "
daemon su -c /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh activemq
echo
return $RETVAL
}
restart() {
stop
start
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart|reload)
restart
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit $?
7. Enable ActiveMQ service configuration as Linux Daemon:
# sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/activemq
# sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add activemq
# sudo /sbin/chkconfig activemq on
8. Restart the server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: activemq-data is being created in "/" root directory. I have to
explicitly set the activemq-data location in activemq.conf
