Well, I had to go there eventually. So far I've only read the Slashdot
systemd flame wars. :) I think the rc.local thing would work fine, but
using systemd is apparently the way to do it going forward.
Specifically, this is for SLES12. So far, the init scripts seem to be
working on RHEL7 (maybe).
There actually are some instructions in the latest install guide for
Fedora, so I modified those a bit and came up with this:
For SLES12:
1. Create file /etc/systemd/system/startstaf.service (this file location
seem to vary by distro) with the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Start the STAF service
After=syslog.target
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.systemd
ExecStart=/usr/local/staf/startSTAFProc.sh
Type=forking
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target graphical.target
2. Create new file /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.systemd:
# STAF environment variables for systemd startup
PATH=/opt/medusa_labs/test_tools/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/tst/:/tst/bin:/usr/local/staf/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/staf/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar:/usr/local/staf/samples/demo/STAFDemo.jar:${CLASSPATH:-}
STAFCONVDIR=/usr/local/staf/codepage
STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=STAF
( I had to add some system specific PATH entries there. Before it just
inherited root's PATH, but apparently not so with systemd).
3. Run these commands:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start startstaf.service
systemctl enable startstaf.service (I think this makes it start on boot?)
So far, so good. :)
