Sean, ignore that last script I sent you - I reread your email and realised it's a HANDLE SERVER init script you're after, not a tomcat init script. So try this one! We've cobbled together a stop method for it which is based on looking for java processes which contain the string log4j-handle - you may see fit to use another method of detection. It's quite brutal, once it finds such a process, it just kills it, but we've never had any problems using it. The status method works much the same way. We use chkconfig on a RHEL 5 AS system to install it as a service, thereby controlling it via: /sbin/service handled start|stop|restart|status I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Running Handle Server As Root
2008/7/29 Robin Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi Sean,
Personally I think its good Unix practice to avoid using
root and use a more
specific user account wherever possible. What do you run
Tomcat as ? It
might be sufficient to use the same user for the handle
server. You could
start the process from some sort of init script using
something like (from
'man su')
example% su - bin -c "command args"
Cheers, Robin.
Thanks Robin
I totally agree with you about it being good practice to avoid
root, but my initial attempts to get the handle server to run as
tomcat55 failed, so I thought I'd ask about problems using root.
I guess I'll try harder, but if anybody has an init script, I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Sean
