JOnAS

Starting JOnAS as a Service on Linux

by

Here is a startup script for JOnAS, on Linux. It is a nice way to automatically start JOnAS when Linux reboots. It is quite trivial to write but I am sure it will turn out useful for anyone who is still not familiar with startup scripts on Linux. Call it jonas and save it in the directory /etc/init.d. You must be root to do that.

#! /bin/bash
# chkconfig: 2345 95 20
