[JDEV] Putting Jabberd in Startup on Linux

[Gunjan Kakani]

Hi Russ,


thanks for the help, it worked great.....and saved my time to...

I just made one change in that too, since, at my home, I dont have a UPS power supply, I have to bare sudden power failures...in that case the jabber.pid file will remain there...so next time when server reboots..I have to manually delete it before starting the server, so I just put one "rm" comman in the "start" case also to remove the pid file before starting...a dirty way...but works..!:)

Anyway...it was really handy and useful thanks!

Cheers!

  Hi,

  I have posted a couple of scripts that will do this for Linux.  The first script you edit to taste in put in your jabber root, making sure it's at least mode 0700:

  http://www.bluecows.com/scripts/jabberd.start

  The second script should be edited to taste and goes in /etc/rc.d/init.d.  It should be mode 0755:

  You can use chkconfig to install it or set the runlevels manually.

  Hope this helps,
  Russ

    Hi all,

    I just downloaded and successfully configured Jabber server for the first time, and it worked great,


    Now, i want to start the Jabberd when my linux server boots? How do I put Jabberd on Linux startup? Since, it leaves jabber.pid file when closing the server, I have to manually delete it as of now? Can anyone point me to right resource to handle this?

    Thanks!

    Cheers
