Still not sure if this is a manifestation of the ssh hang-on-exit bug,
but redirecting stderr to a file as well as stdout solves the problem.
It's probably a good idea not to overwrite that file when shutting down,
so with both changes the init script becomes:
#!/bin/sh
# Starts and stops the derby database
DERBY_HOME=/home/web
DERBY_USER=web
derby_start () {
su -l $DERBY_USER -c "$DERBY_HOME/bin/start_derby >
$DERBY_HOME/logs/derby.log 2>&1 &"
}
derby_stop () {
su -l $DERBY_USER -c "$DERBY_HOME/bin/stop_derby"
}
case "$1" in
start)
derby_start
;;
stop)
derby_stop
;;
restart)
derby_stop
sleep 5
derby_start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/derby {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
