Re: helma startup script on FreeBSD

Just to follow up on this, in case others having the same problem getting helma to automatically starting up  on freebsd. I recently has the "privileg" of visiting where the actually server is located. Trust me, it was not by choice.  

I witness the startup process on the monitor, and I notice that when the startup scripts hit the helma startup.sh,  it complained "java not found", everything all the sudden just make sense.

I just added the following line in the helma/start.sh (it is actually commented out)

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local

of course you should set it to the proper location where java is installed.

And now it works.  Below is my simple script for helma auto startup on freebsd 6.1. 

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/helma.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
#

echo "Starting Helma"
daemon '/helma/start.sh'

exit 0

hmm, I tried that. Some how it doesn't seem to work.  If i call it on the command line, then it works, but not when I put it in the /etc/rc.conf

I'm doing this in jails and I have one jail where I couldn't get it to work either. It just didn't do anything and failed quietly. I have no idea why.

Is anyone using Helma on FreeBSD?  Anyone has a start up script on  
FreeBSD to share?   I modified  one of the linux start up script on  
the mailing list, but it is not working on freebsd.  I have to  
manually restart helma everything system reboots.

I just have entries like below in my /etc/rc.conf file and don't go  
through a startup script:

daemon su -m userName -c '/path/to/helma/start.sh'
