Installing JSVC

JSVC is a wrapper to launch Java applications as daemons under UNIX. It's a part of commons daemon.

It serves as the metal underneath when using trinidad_init_services artifacts to launch Trinidad as a daemon.

Compiled jsvc binaries (for Linux and Darwin platforms) are packaged with the gem, unfortunately they seem not to be working for all. As a last resort in such cases we recommend compiling the binary from source, or installing it using your distribution's package manager if a fairly recent version is provided and maintained.

Compile It!

• Download and unpack (e.g. to /usr/local/src) commons-daemon-x.x.x-native-src.tar.gz
• Change dir to the unix folder (e.g. cd /usr/local/src/commons-daemon-1.0.8-native-src/unix)
• Configure and make the binary ./configure && make
• In case all dependencies where met, a jsvc binary should appear in your working directory

Update init.d script

• Finally adjust your generated /etc/init.d/trinidad file to use the previously compiled jsvc binary :

  Locate the JSVC=... line and adjust it e.g. JSVC=/usr/local/src/commons-daemon-1.0.8-native-src/unix/jsvc
