6.4. Systemd

When the karaf-service.sh utility identifies Systemd, it generates three files:
  • a systemd unit file to manage the root Apache Karaf container
  • a systemd environment file with variables used by the root Apache Karaf container
  • a systemd template unit file to manage Apache Karaf child containers
Here is an example: 
$ ./karaf-service.sh -k /opt/karaf-4 -n karaf-4
Writing service file "/opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4.service"
Writing service configuration file "/opt/karaf-4/etc/karaf-4.conf"
Writing service file "/opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4@.service"
$ cp /opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4.service /etc/systemd/system
$ cp /opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4@.service /etc/systemd/system
$ systemctl enable karaf-4.service
