The karaf wrapper feature [1] looks nice too, on my system it create scripts
and the following output:
karaf@root> wrapper:install
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/bin/karaf-wrapper
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/bin/karaf-service
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/etc/karaf-wrapper.conf
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/lib/libwrapper.so
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/lib/karaf-wrapper.jar
Creating file: /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/lib/karaf-wrapper-main.jar
Setup complete. You may want to tweak the JVM properties in the wrapper
configuration file:
/home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/etc/karaf-wrapper.conf
before installing and starting the service.
The way the service is installed depends upon your flavor of Linux.
On Redhat/Fedora/CentOS Systems:
To install the service:
$ ln -s /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/bin/karaf-service /etc/init.d/
$ chkconfig karaf-service --add
To start the service when the machine is rebooted:
$ chkconfig karaf-service on
To disable starting the service when the machine is rebooted:
$ chkconfig karaf-service off
To start the service:
$ service karaf-service start
To stop the service:
$ service karaf-service stop
To uninstall the service :
$ chkconfig karaf-service --del
$ rm /etc/init.d/karaf-service
On Ubuntu/Debian Systems:
To install the service:
$ ln -s /home/reto/lib/apache-karaf-2.2.0/bin/karaf-service /etc/init.d/
To start the service when the machine is rebooted:
$ update-rc.d karaf-service defaults
To disable starting the service when the machine is rebooted:
$ update-rc.d -f karaf-service remove
To start the service:
$ /etc/init.d/karaf-service start
To stop the service:
$ /etc/init.d/karaf-service stop
To uninstall the service :
$ rm /etc/init.d/karaf-service
