I guess you are concerned about Felix prompting you about the profile
name. If you set felix.cache.profile or felix.cache.profiledir property
in config.property file, then Felix won't prompt you anything and the
command you mentioned would be sufficient.
Thank you very much. I did as you said, but when I try to launch
Felix using java -jar bin/felix.jar &, it will be suspended in the
background, since it tries to get the input.

Then what if I don't want this terminal to be blocked, and only put
Felix to the background? Is this possible? I can do this with Equinox
by not giving -console argument.
Yes, you can do something similar using Felix. Just disable the
org.apache.felix.shell.tui bundle in conf/config.properties. Look for
org.apache.felix.shell.tui*.jar in config.properties and remove that
bundle from the autostart list.
Thanks very much for your kindly help. I removed tui from
conf/config.properties, and restarted Felix, tui was still running
there, then I stopped it manually, and restarted Felix, and it was
done. Now I can put it to background successfully. ;-)
Is this the recommended way of running Felix as a daemon? Summary:
* Disable shell.tui (by removing the autoload paramater)
* Set felix profile (-Dfelix.cache.profile=<some-profile>)
* Redirect stdout and stderr to some log file ( >> felix.out 2>&1 )
e.g:
(cd ~/felix-trunk/main; java -Dfelix.cache.profile=myProfile -jar bin/felix.jar) >>
/var/log/felix.log 2>&1 &
Is there an init-script that does this (possibly in a cleaner way...)?
No, I think that is it. Now you might think about including shell.remote
so you can remotely access the Felix shell (or the web console).
Felix itself doesn't make any attempt to use stdin, but the simple
launcher does (i.e., it assumes it can ask for a profile if one doesn't
exist and is configured to autoload the shell.tui), but it is
configurable to avoid doing these things.
How would you like it to be cleaner? Do you mean having it set up as a
daemon automatically?
We have some work started on an installer that will automatically
install Felix as a daemon, but unfortunately that has stalled.
