ok so i did this, made a script file per Mike's suggestion
the script file is here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost system]# cat /ofbiz/ofbiz.13.07/ofbizd
#!/bin/bash
#shell script for ofbiz daemon
#ofbizd
export JAVA_HOME=/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75-2.5.4.2.fc20.i386
export CLASSPATH=/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75-2.5.4.2.fc20.i386
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH
export JAVA_BINARY=/usr/bin/java
export JAVA=$JAVA_BINARY
export OFBIZ_HOME=/ofbiz/ofbiz.13.07
export OFBIZ_LOG=$OFBIZ_HOME/runtime/logs/console.log
export OFBIZ_OUT=/tmp/OfbizOut
export JAVA_VMOPTIONS="-Xms768M -Duser.language=en"
export JAVA_ARGS="-jar ${OFBIZ_HOME}/ofbiz.jar"
cd $OFBIZ_HOME && $JAVA_BINARY $VMARGS $JAVA_ARGS >$OFBIZ_OUT 2>>$OFBIZ_LOG
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now i already showed my .service file.. i only change the Execstart to
point to the ofbizd, it still times out the same way
this is what the console.log shows so you maybe right Ron with the Class
pointer, so if you could help me point it to the classes i would appreciate
it
