How to run Jazz Build Engine as a Linux service?

Bill Higgins (456●25●23) | asked Jun 01 '11, 9:56 p.m.

I am setting up Jazz Build Engines for the first time on Linux and believe that I should configure them in the following way:

- A non-root user should launch the build engine as a runlevel 3 Linux service

First of all, is this the best way to run the JBE on Linux?

If so, I am unable to find documentation on how to configure this. Via the FAQ, I found how to run JBE as a Windows Service ( https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JbeAsAWindowsService ) but I find no similar documentation for running as a Linux service.

Could you please point me towards some documentation about the right way to configure the JBE as a Linux service -OR- if this is not the best way to run the JBE on Linux, please tell me what is the right way.

Thanks in advance,
- Bill

Hi Bill,

The original thinking around this area is detailed in 55102: jbe Linux daemon script desired/needed . I know there are some Java service wrapper programs out there for Unix, but don't have any experience with them. Perhaps, a work item is needed for the Linux side of this. The original enhancment request for the investigation into the service mentioned Linux but the document only included Windows.
