Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-7796:
-------------------------------------
I have tested *java -jar build/libs.ofbiz-gradle.jar --start* in my dev
environment and it works. In another cli I used *java -jar
build/libs.ofbiz-gradle.jar --shutdownt* and it stops the task running in the
first cli.
re:: *generic enough situation*
* No, it is - as the name of the script indicates - intended for *debian* based
systems.
* I have changed the *JAVA_BINARY* variable from hardcoded and old java version
1.4.2 to generic $JAVA_HOME
* I have changed the *OFBIZ_HOME* variable from location in users home folder
to more generic */opt/ofbiz*
re: *why use java directly*
In UAT an PROD environments you want the entire OFBIZ setup running as clean,
mean and lean as possible. That also include shortest startup time possible
(argument behind that: minimal downtime with respect to SLAs). Building (or
checking the build) the OFBiz implementation is not adding to that.
> Running OFBiz as a service fails

> Key: OFBIZ-7796
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7796
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Environment: Ubuntu 16.04, openjdk-8-jdk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Assignee: Pierre Smits
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: OFBIZ-77796-rc.ofbiz.for.debian.patch

>
> In a new ubuntu environment I performed a checkout from trunk and ran the
> loadDefault build script.
> After this had completed, I moved the ofbiz directory from my user folder to
> the /opt folder, and configured the Ubuntu environment to be able to run
> OFBiz as a service.
> This entails:
> * deploy a script in /etc/init.d
> * set the correct permissions of the service script
> * create the service user
> * changed the owner and ownergroup of the files and folders in /opt/ofbiz
> and then fire the service:
> sudo /etc/init.d/ofbiz start
> This normally starts the proces java -jar ofbiz.jar
> But now nothing happens.
