Startup Shell script

Classic Servoy
21

It possible I had made some many cuts and pastes and changes to my files that they were a bit messed up.

I copied “servoy_server.sh” and “Servoy” startup item directory to the remote server and it worked :-)

Maybe the .tcshrc stuff mentioned in my last post wasn’t needed.

22

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get this to work, and I am not a Unix geek. To summarize what i have done so far.

I have amended the servoy_server.sh as per Jan’s post. (I cut from the browser window and paste into text editor). I have also chmod this file as per swingman’s post.

I have amended Servoy exec as per Jan’s post. (I cut from the browser window and paste into text editor). I have also chmod this file as per swingman’s post.

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.common

StartService ()
{
ConsoleMessage “Starting Servoy Application server”
su Clive -c ‘/Applications/Servoy/servoy_server.sh’ &
}

StopService()
{
ConsoleMessage “In the future Stop Servoy here”
}

RestartService ()
{
M- M- StopService
M- M- StartService
}

RunService “$1”

I have the servoy_server.sh file in the Applications/Servoy directory, and the Servoy directory (Includes Servoy exec + Resources folder + StartupParameters.plist) in the System/Library/StartuipItems folder.

#!/bin/sh
cd /Applications/Servoy
/usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath .:lib/commons-collections.jar:lib/commons-dbcp.jar:lib/commons-pool.jar:lib/activation.jar:lib/antlr.jar:lib/j2db.jar:lib/j2dbdev.jar:lib/compat141.jar:lib/jh.jar:lib/jndi.jar:lib/js.jar:lib/jta.jar:lib/mail.jar:lib/jug.jar:lib/jdbc2_0-stdext.jar:lib/naming-common.jar:lib/naming-resources.jar:lib/servlet.jar:lib/xerces.jar:lib/server-bootstrap.jar:lib/commons-fileupload-1.0.jar:lib/commons-logging.jar:lib/hibernate2.jar com.servoy.j2db.server.ApplicationServer > server.log 2>&1

I have restarted the server (several times) and tried to access Servoy using Servoy client on another PC in the network, which results in ‘Repository not found’.

If I go into into terminal, cd into the Applications/Servoy folder and then then enter
./servoy_server.sh I can then successfully start the Servoy client.[/code]

what do you get if you do this on a terminal:

sudo /sbin/SystemStarter start Servoy

I changed mine to:

	</array>

Tried that, and got the following:

Just wonder if you have a problem with line endings.. which application did you use to save the file?

28

TextEdit on Mac OSX Server 10.3

Can you try extracting the file below to you Startupitems directory. It should create a Servoy directory. In it you only need to change the line:

su Servoy -c '/Applications/Servoy/servoy_server.sh' &

change Servoy into the user that runs Servoy on your machine.

Yippee. It now works.

I downloaded/unzipped the file, and this time I edited the file using pico.

Thanks everybody for their help.
