6.5. SysV

When the karaf-service.sh utility identifies a SysV system, it generates two files:

an init script to manage the root Apache Karaf container
an environment file with variables used by the root Apache Karaf container

Here is an example:

./karaf-service.sh -k /opt/karaf-4 -n karaf-4
ln -s /opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4 /etc/init.d/
chkconfig karaf-4 on

$ ./karaf-service.sh -k /opt/karaf-4 -n karaf-4
Writing service file "/opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4"
Writing service configuration file "/opt/karaf-4/etc/karaf-4.conf"
$ ln -s /opt/karaf-4/bin/contrib/karaf-4 /etc/init.d/
$ chkconfig karaf-4 on
