Have a question which i think relates to s-s-d more than java but as i've been learning, what do i know?
part of my init.d script. ------------ APPDIR="/usr/jsyncmanager" APPUSER="jsync" ARGS="-Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server" PIDFILE="/var/run/jsyncmanager.pid" # Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system case "$1" in start) echo "Starting jsyncmanager" start-stop-daemon -Sbm -p $PIDFILE -c $APPUSER -d $APPDIR -x "/usr/bin/java" -- $ARGS ------------ this was derived from a command line java -Xmx256M -jar jsyncmanager.jar --server 2>>out2 & The problem is getting a java application to start using an init.d script, honouring the pidfile to keep it from running more than once (which the s-s-d does) but also trap stderr in a log file. if I modify $ARGS to include ...--server 2>>/home/jsync/out2.txt the out2.txt file never gets created or added to. there is a ~jsync folder in that location and both root and jsync have permissions to write there so I'm wondering if this is a quirk of how s-s-d works. anyone been in this area themselves? This is Sarge and JRE 1.5 (build 5 i think) Confirmation that this is the same or different for non-java stuff would also be appreciated. Thanks, S. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
