Java Gateway autorun init script?

[xpehbam]

Hello,

I am evaluating the virtual appliance 2.0 and am looking to write a script to auto start the java gateway when the server starts. I know the settings.sh already allows the gateway to run as a background process, but it's surprising that service functionality is not included from the start. Has anyone already accomplished this? Is there something to look out for?

You should have probably specified your OS flavour here.

Here is the init script for RedHat/CentOS. Stuff between <<>> is what you need to change according to your setup.

# We need java
export PATH=$PATH:/apps/java/jdk-1.6/bin/

# zabbix details
ZABBIX_JAVAGW_START=<<Insert path here>>/startup.sh
ZABBIX_JAVAGW_STOP=<<Insert path here>>/shutdown.sh
PIDFILE=<<Insert path here to hold pid here>>/zabbix_java.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

[ -x $ZABBIX_AGENTD ] || exit 5

RETVAL=0

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting zabbix java gateway: "
daemon $ZABBIX_JAVAGW_START
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/zabbix-java
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down zabbix agent: "
$ZABBIX_JAVAGW_STOP
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zabbix-java
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit $RETVAL

Forgot to mention, you also need to do this:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_java_gateway #or any name you like
chkconfig --add zabbix_java_gateway
chkconfig zabbix_java_gateway on

Again, chkconfig is a RedHat specific thing.

Thank you for the response kelberg. The virtual appliance I am using runs OpenSUSE 12.1, so I don't believe that script will work. I am planning on following the skeleton file init script.

Zabbix Java Gateway start/stop script

thanks kelbergs for the script.. I just used it on Ubuntu to start|stop the java gateway .. I had to tweak it a bit to get it to work and now it works fine...

Here is the Ubuntu addition

#/bin/sh
#Zabbix Java gateway start/stop script.

#Check for Java - 
#nnoori: I already set my JAVA_HOME in ".profile" so I deleted that line
#        In my case I use OpenJDK6 for Ubuntu 12.04
#export PATH=$PATH:<<JAVA_HOME>>/bin/

# zabbix details
ZABBIX_JAVAGW_START=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_java/startup.sh
ZABBIX_JAVAGW_STOP=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_java/shutdown.sh
PID=/tmp/zabbix_java.pid

test -f $ZABBIX_JAVAGW_START || exit 0 


RETVAL=0

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting zabbix java gateway: "
	$ZABBIX_JAVAGW_START
	
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/zabbix-java
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down zabbix agent: "
	$ZABBIX_JAVAGW_STOP

RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zabbix-java
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit $RETVAL

• Put the file in /etc/init.d
• Update permission for script file

  #sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/<<script_file_name>>

• If you want to set Zabbix to start when the machine boots then execute

  sudo update-rc.d zabbix-java defaults

Now we are good to go!

I used also the instructions from this Zabbix wiki page http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/ins.../ubuntuinstall
