Chapter 7. Running and removing JBoss EAP as a service on RHEL

Procedure

1. Configure the start-up options in the jboss-eap.conf file by opening the jboss-eap.conf in a text editor and set the options for your JBoss EAP installation.

2. Copy the service initialization and configuration files into the system directories:

   1. Copy the modified service configuration file to the /etc/default directory.

      Note

      The commands in this procedure require root privileges to run. Either run su - to switch to the root user or preface the commands with sudo.

      $ sudo cp EAP_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-eap.conf /etc/default

   2. Copy the service startup script to the /etc/init.d directory and give it execute permissions:

      $ sudo cp EAP_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-eap-rhel.sh /etc/init.d
      $ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/jboss-eap-rhel.sh
      $ sudo restorecon /etc/init.d/jboss-eap-rhel.sh

3. Add the new jboss-eap-rhel.sh service to the list of automatically started services using the chkconfig service management command:

   $ sudo chkconfig --add jboss-eap-rhel.sh

4. Verify that the service has been installed correctly by using the following command:

   $ sudo systemctl start jboss-eap-rhel

5. Optional: To make the service start automatically when the RHEL server starts, run the following command:

   $ sudo chkconfig jboss-eap-rhel.sh on

Procedure

1. When the service is running, open a terminal and stop the service with one of the following command:

   $ sudo service jboss-eap-rhel.sh stop

   Note

   The commands in this procedure require root privileges to run. Either run su - to switch to the root user or preface the commands with sudo.

2. Remove JBoss EAP from the list of services:

   $ sudo chkconfig --del jboss-eap-rhel.sh

3. Delete the configuration file and startup script:

   $ sudo rm /etc/init.d/jboss-eap-rhel.sh
   $ sudo rm /etc/default/jboss-eap.conf
