How to chkconfig (OpenKM JBOSS init script)

It needs some steps to integrate OpenKM properly. Therefore, you basically need to engineer your start script yourself. The following notes should help to get JBOSS up quickly.

1) create a new user 

  # useradd jboss

2) copy script

  # cp JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss_init_redhat.sh /etc/init.d/jboss

3) add chkconfig properties to init file

  # chkconfig: 345 65 35
  # description: JBOSS AS init script
  # pidfile: /var/run/jboss.pid

4) adjust all other variables in the init file header 

5) add script to chkconfig

  # chkconfig --add jboss

6) set jboss to be started at level 3

  # chkconfig jboss --level 3 on

7) start now (# service jboss start)
