/etc/init.d service startup script

[dr34mup]

Hello all,

I am trying to make my first startup script for the programm Glassfish.
At the moment you need to use this to start, stop and restart the program:

/opt/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
/opt/glassfish/bin/asadmin stop-domain
/opt/glassfish/bin/asadmin restart-domain

So this is like my script looks right now:

#!/bin/sh


### BEGIN INIT INFO
#
# Provides:        glassfish
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Required-Stop:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# Default-Start:    2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:        0 1 6
# Short-Description:    Glassfish scipt (Non official)
# Description:    Start Glassfish domain as service.
#
### END INIT INFO

BASE=/opt/glassfish/bin
NAME=glassfish
DAEMON=${BASE}/asadmin
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME


#PID file for the daemon
PIDFILE=/var/run/glassfish.pid


#If the daemon is not there, then exit
[ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 5


do_start()
{
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --make-pidfile --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- start-domain
}


do_stop()
{
    start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
}


case $1 in
    start)
        #Check PID file
        if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
            status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE "$NAME process" && status="0" || status="$?"
            # IF SUCCESS dont start again
            if [ $status = "0" ]; then
                exit
            fi
        fi


        #Start the daemon
        log_daemon_msg "Starting the process" "$NAME"
        if do_start; then
            log_end_msg 0
        else
            log_end_msg 1
        fi
        ;;


    stop)
        # Stop the daemon
        if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
            status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON "Stopping the $NAME process" && status="0" || status="$?"
            if [ "$status" = 0]; then
                do_stop
            fi
        else
            log_daemon_msg "$NAME process is not running"
            log_end_msg 0
        fi
        ;;


    restart)
        # Restart the daemon
            $0 stop && sleep 2 && $0 start
        ;;


    status)
        # Check status
        if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
            status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON "$NAME process" && exit 0 || exit $?
        else
            log_daemon_msg "$NAME Process is not running"
            log_end_msg 0
        fi
        ;;


    *)
        # Show help
        echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart}" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;

(First he didn't created the PID file so I have to set the parameter '--make-pidfile' since the Java Glassfish didn't created it.)

The PID gets now created but the output on status or stop is that there is no PID file existing. I try to get this working since yesterday.

Maybe someone can help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Starting the service also not works:

 sudo /etc/init.d/glassfish start
[sudo] password for administrator:
 * glassfish process is not running
 * Starting the process glassfish                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.

And stopping:

sudo /etc/init.d/glassfish stop
 * Stopping the glassfish process is not running
/etc/init.d/glassfish: 64: [: missing ]

But the file exists:

 ls /var/run/glass*
/var/run/glassfish.pid

I don't get it...

I can not believe. Finally I get it working!
If someone is interested here is the full script. (Including some useless comments for me to understand)

I am not sure if the INIT Info is needed. Because I registered it as service and for the runlevel startup I will not do any more changes.
