JBoss AS 7 as a Service for Linux users

Linux applications use System V Init scripts to run an application when the machine boots.
Basically, the scripts which start a service are placed in:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/   (other distributions: /etc/init.d/)

The same scripts need to be linked as:
/etc/rc.(x)/  (Prefixed with S for start and K for stop)

We suggest you reading a good tutorial about Linux Init scripts if you are new to this:
http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/systems-management/8116-an-introduction-to-services-runlevels-and-rcd-scripts

In order to install JBoss AS 7 on your Linux distribution pickup the file jboss-as-standalone.sh located in JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d. This file needs to be placed in init.d to launch jboss as a service.

cp jboss_as-standalone.sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss					

Remember to edit the file jboss-as-standalone.sh to adapt it to your environment:

....
# Load JBoss AS init.d configuration.
if [ -z "$JBOSS_CONF" ]; then
  JBOSS_CONF="/etc/jboss-as/jboss-as.conf"
fi

[ -r "$JBOSS_CONF" ] && . "${JBOSS_CONF}"

# Set defaults.

if [ -z "$JBOSS_HOME" ]; then
  JBOSS_HOME=/usr/share/jboss-as
fi
export JBOSS_HOME
....

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc3.d/S84jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc5.d/S84jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc4.d/S84jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc6.d/K15jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc0.d/K15jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc1.d/K15jboss
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss /etc/rc2.d/K15jboss
