Hi Vamsee,
Note, the current version of STAF is V3.4.8 (not 3.4.1) so you may want to
upgrade to take advantage of the latest bug fixes and new features.
Your init script needs to source STAFEnv.sh (located in the directory
where you installed STAF, e.g. /usr/local/staf) to set the environment
variables needed by STAF before starting STAFProc. Also, pass the
STAF_INSTANCE_NAME to STAFEnv.sh (generally this should be STAF). When
you start STAFProc, you should redirect its output to a file (e.g.
/usr/local/staf/STAFProc.out) as this output shows if STAFProc was
initialized or if an error occurred (so you can check this file if you
encounter a problem). For example:
. /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.sh STAF
STAFProc >> /usr/local/staf/STAFProc.out &
Note that you should test out your init script manually. For example:
/etc/rc.d/stafproc start
Here is a sample init script that you can use to start STAFProc upon
boot-up on FreeBSD and to shutdown STAFProc when the system shuts down.
Cut and paste its content into a file named "stafproc" and put this file
in the /etc/rc.d directory. Give this "stafproc" file execution
permissions (e.g. chmod +u+x stafproc).
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: stafproc
# REQUIRE: networking filesystems
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable STAFProc
#
# stafproc_enable="YES"
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name="stafproc"
start_cmd="stafproc_start"
stop_cmd="stafproc_stop"
stafproc_enable="yes"
rcvars=stafproc_enable
STAF_HOME=/usr/local/staf
STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=STAF
# Include any directories you want in STAFProc's PATH
PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin:$PATH
export PATH
stafproc_start()
{
echo "Starting STAFProc..."
. $STAF_HOME/STAFEnv.sh $STAF_INSTANCE_NAME
# Check if STAFProc is already running
STAF local PING PING > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "STAFProc is already running with
STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=$STAF_INSTANCE_NAME"
return 0
fi
STAFProc >> $STAF_HOME/STAFProc.out &
RETVAL=$?
echo "STAFProc output will be written to /usr/local/staf/STAFProc.out"
if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Waiting for STAFProc to finish initalizing..."
# Ping every 2s (up to 30 attempts) until returns RC 0
count=1
while [ $count -le 30 ]; do
sleep 2
STAF local PING PING > /dev/null
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then
echo "STAFProc initialized"
count=30
fi
count=$(($count+1))
done
fi
echo
return $RETVAL
}
stafproc_stop()
{
echo "Shutting down STAFProc..."
# Shutdown STAF (stops any STAF services and STAFProc)
. $STAF_HOME/STAFEnv.sh $STAF_INSTANCE_NAME
STAF local SHUTDOWN SHUTDOWN
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Waiting for STAFProc to finish shutdown..."
# Ping every 2s (up to 60 attempts) until get RC 21
# which means "STAF not running"
count=1
while [ $count -le 60 ]; do
sleep 2
STAF local PING PING > /dev/null
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL -eq 21 ]; then
echo "STAFProc ended normally"
RETVAL=0
count=60
fi
count=$(($count+1))
done
elif [ $RETVAL -eq 21 ]; then
echo "STAFProc is not currently running so shutdown is ignored"
fi
echo
return $RETVAL
}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
Init Script Customization Notes:
1) If you installed STAF to a different location than /usr/local/staf then
change the STAF_HOME variable.
2) This init script adds a Java bin directory to the PATH environment
variable as follows so that if STAFProc registers any Java services it can
find the java executable without specifying the JVM option. Customize
this for the the location of your JVM (or any other directories you want
to have in STAFProc's PATH) or remove these lines if you don't need to
change the PATH.
# Include any directories you want in STAFProc's PATH
PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Make sure to test that the stafproc init script is working correctly by
attempting to stop and start and restart STAFProc as follows:
# /etc/rc.d/stafproc stop
Shutting down STAFProc...
Response
--------
Waiting for STAFProc to finish shutdown...
STAFProc ended normally
# /etc/rc.d/stafproc start
Starting STAFProc...
STAFProc output will be written to /usr/local/staf/STAFProc.out
Waiting for STAFProc to finish initalizing...
STAFProc initialized
# /etc/rc.d/stafproc restart
Shutting down STAFProc...
Response
--------
Waiting for STAFProc to finish shutdown...
STAFProc ended normally
Starting STAFProc...
STAFProc output will be written to /usr/local/staf/STAFProc.out
Waiting for STAFProc to finish initalizing...
STAFProc initialized
#
Finally, edit file /etc/rc.conf and add the following line to enable the
stafproc service:
stafproc_enable="YES"
Now try rebooting the system to verify that it is shutting down and
starting STAFProc when the system is rebooted.
I plan on adding these instructions for FreeBSD to section "11. Starting
STAFProc during system reboot" in the STAF Installation Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFInstall.pdf.

Subject: [staf-users] start STAF on Free BSD after reboot
Hi All,
I am a new user of STAF.
I have installed STAF on FreeBSD 7.4 .
My requirement is to start the STAF Process after boot process.
I am able to start STAF process manually. Below is the output after
starting the process manually:
bsd72# /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc
Machine : bsd72
Machine nickname : bsd72
Startup time : 20120229-04:38:20
STAFProc version 3.4.1 initialized
I have placed a script in the following location, to start STAF process
automatically after bootup, but it is not working.
location : /etc/rc.d/ ( path )
==============================================
Script name : staf
Script content :
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: staf
# REQUIRE: dhclient sshd hostapd securelevel
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name="staf"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
force_depend dhclient
staf_bsd_start()
{
echo "Starting the STAF Process"
( /usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc & )
echo "Started the STAF Proces...."
}
: ${set_rcvar:="YES"}
command="/usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc &"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
==============================================
/var/log/messages shows following messages related to staf script ( which
was kept to run at boot time )
Feb 28 04:30:46 bsd72 root: /etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: staf_enable is set
to YES.
Feb 28 04:30:46 bsd72 root: /etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: doit:
/usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc &
but it throws the following error, when I try to check if staf has started
bsd72# staf bsd72 ping ping
Error registering with STAF, RC: 21
Is there a log file related to STAF, to check what is the error and why it
is not able to start the STAF process after reboot
Please let me know, if there is a solution for this issue.
Thanks,
Vamsee
