Create a Java Daemon

[Adam Tong]

Hi,

I added a script in /etc/init.d for my new service.

Now I want to have a way to determine if the service is running or not
for the status.

I checked the script of apache2 for example, I found that it relies on
this command to determine that: "pidof apache2 ..."

This does not work for my new service that I can start using "java
myprogram" in the start function of the service.

I guess that I am missing some step. Can you give me a hint?

Here is my service script content /etc/init.d/myservice:
---------------------
#!/bin/sh

start() {
echo “Starting myservice”
eval "java -classpath /home/me/Documents/projects/myproject/ JavaDaemonTest"
}

stop() {
echo “Stopping myservice”
}

restart() {
stop
start
}

status() {
echo "myservice is ... status to implement"
}

case "$1" in
start)
  start
;;
stop)
  stop
;;
restart)
  restart
;;
status)
  status
;;

*)

echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

------
