Re: java application on startup
Well, I am not an expert in such things, but somethings that might work for
you...
I *think* what you are aiming for is a way to run the program in the system
init scripts yourself -- there is an /etc/init.d/skeleton file that you can
copy to a new file, edit, and then make symbolic links to it in the
/etc/rc?.d directories. It shouldn't be too difficult..
Try to use start-stop-daemon if you can. It provides some nice features, if
I recall correctly.
Most folks would just try to put it in the background, if the
start-stop-daemon program doesn't work, using a "&" at the end of the
command; eg,
/usr/local/bin/start_server_command &
If it REQUIRES having a stdin, see if you can redirect from /dev/null; eg,
/usr/local/bin/start_server_command < /dev/null &
If this doesn't work, then try redirecting from a named pipe -- man mknod(1)
for more places to look for information on this (as I don't know how to do
it either. :)
HTH..
