Stash System V Init Script for RHEL

[Sidnie Anderson]

There is an init.d script posted at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Running+Stash+as+a+Linux+service#RunningStashasaLinuxservice-Usinganinit.dscript , but it is geared more toward Debian-based systems than RHEL-based systems. As is, the script has issues with chkconfig. Is there an init.d script available for us who use the RHEL-based systems?

This is a self-answer question. I'm posting a script below.

I realise this is an old thread, but I wanted to say thanks. Also I would offer that a "standard" RHEL/CentOS init script usually sources /etc/sysconfig/stash as opposed to /etc/default/stash if it exists to allow for "configuration" such as directories, users, etc. without customizing the script itself.

[Sidnie Anderson]

Thanks, I didn't know this. Script updated.

[Tommy McNeely]

Thanks again! I was glad to find this and it works great (I made the same change).

Hi,

i have some trouble with the init script. The Start is working perfectly but shutdown dont get run on system reboot.

RedHat checks for a lock file for your script in /var/lock/subsys/<scriptname> or it won't run your K* scripts.

You need to add an touch in the start routine and a rm -f in the stop routine.

Regards,

Florian

Hi Billy,

There is a script for FishEye that I think that can help you:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHKB/Starting+FishEye+automatically+without+logging+on+the+server

Could you please try it just editing the paths to Stash installation and tell me how it goes for you?

Regards,

Celso Yoshioka

Thanks for your response. I edited the paths and ran it, but the functionality of that script doesn't align well with what I would expect from an init.d script in RHEL. For example, `service stash status` tails a log file, but I would expect it to report if the service is running, along with a PID if available.

Also, it doesn't use the sourced functions in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, such as `success`, `failure`, `echo_success`, `echo_failure`, and `status`. Using these functions standardizes the format of `service stash` output with with the rest of my services.
