Creating a Unix Service for ActiveMQBelow are steps to make ActiveMQ a Linux Daemon on Red Hat 4 ES. It's based on this article. Alternatively, you could also use the Java Service Wrapper implementation, refer to the Java Service Wrapper Page for more details. SettingsJAVA_HOME = /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_06 ActiveMQ = /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0 InstallationSun Java JDK 1. Install Sun Java JDK on /opt/java/ directory. 2. Create a shortcut to JDK directory: sudo ln -s /opt/java/jdk1.5.0_06 /opt/java/java ActiveMQ 1. Install ActiveMQ on /opt/activemq/ directory. 2. Make ActiveMQ startup and shutdown scripts executable: sudo chmod +x /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/activemq sudo chmod +x /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/shutdown ActiveMQ as Linux Daemon 1. Create activemq user: sudo /usr/sbin/useradd activemq 2. Create ActiveMQ startup script /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh with the #!/bin/bash export JDK_HOME=/opt/java/java export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/activemq & 3. Make /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh executable: sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh 4. Create ActiveMQ shutdown script /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh with the #!/bin/bash export JDK_HOME=/opt/java/java export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/shutdown 5. Make /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh executable: sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh 6. Create ActiveMQ Linux service configuration script /etc/init.d/activemq #!/bin/bash

7. Enable ActiveMQ service configuration as Linux Daemon: sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/activemq sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add activemq sudo /sbin/chkconfig activemq on 8. Restart the server. Note: activemq-data is being created in "/" root directory. I have to |
