Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-7796:
-------------------------------------
adding commented out code is like not having the code in...
I am confused here. Why do you insist on having this 'gradlew ofbiz' in the codebase for a rc script that is intended for production servers? Rc scripts are intended to be used for services (e.g. to be triggered by cron script or when a server).
As I have shown in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7796?focusedCommentId=15402191&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15402191starting through java -jar build/libs/ofbiz.jar is seconds faster than 'gradlew ofbiz'.
These are precious seconds, when an IT department (or even an external hosting provider) must meet the requirements of an uptime SLA. With a 5 nines SLA that leaves only 26.3 seconds per month. And each custom component added to the OFBiz default increases to the startup time.
And for what? ./gradlew ofbiz basically does nothing more than checking what should already be there (and it gets worse when - due to some unexplicable mishap - gradlew needs to download external libraries).
To get an indication what it does before the OFBiz service actually starts, I suggest you run './gradlew ofbiz -- debut > gradlew-ofbiz-start-debugge.txt' and have a look at the generated text file.
> Running OFBiz as a service fails

> Key: OFBIZ-7796
> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7796> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Environment: Ubuntu 16.04, openjdk-8-jdk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Assignee: Pierre Smits
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: OFBIZ-77796-rc.ofbiz.for.debian.patch, OFBIZ-7796-rc.ofbiz.for.debian-v2.patch

>
> In a new ubuntu environment I performed a checkout from trunk and ran the loadDefault build script.
> After this had completed, I moved the ofbiz directory from my user folder to the /opt folder, and configured the Ubuntu environment to be able to run OFBiz as a service.
> This entails:
> * deploy a script in /etc/init.d
> * set the correct permissions of the service script
> * create the service user
> * changed the owner and ownergroup of the files and folders in /opt/ofbiz
> and then fire the service:
> sudo /etc/init.d/ofbiz start
> This normally starts the proces java -jar ofbiz.jar
> But now nothing happens.
