Starting JIRA automatically on FreeBSD
*nix-based operating system administration is outside the scope of Atlassian support. This document is provided for information-purposes only.
On *nix-based BSD operating systems, the best practice is to install, configure and run each service (including JIRA) as a dedicated user with only the permissions they require.
To run JIRA automatically on FreeBSD:
As root, create the file
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira.sh
(code shown below), which will be responsible for starting up JIRA after a reboot (or when manually invoked). If you are not using postgresql for your database, change the REQUIRE line to whatever is in the PROVIDE line in your database init script.#!/bin/sh # # Startup script for JIRA on FreeBSD # # This goes in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and gets run at boot-time. # PROVIDE: jira # REQUIRE: postgresql # KEYWORD: shutdown # # Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable jira: # #jira_enable="YES" # jira_enable="${jira_enable-NO}" . /etc/rc.subr name="jira" rcvar=`set_rcvar` start_cmd="${name}_start" stop_cmd="${name}_stop" jira_start() { echo -n " Starting JIRA" su - atlassian -c '/home/atlassian/jira/bin/startup.sh' } jira_stop() { echo -n " Stopping JIRA" su - atlassian -c '/home/atlassian/jira/bin/shutdown.sh' } load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1"
Make the init script executable:
chmod \+x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira.sh
Make the init script readonly:
chmod \-w /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jira.sh
Add the following line to
/etc/rc.conf
jira_enable="YES"
