running a script to stat CF 8?

[John Barrett]

Hi,
is there a way to write a system script to start CF 8? Other people are using the machine at school, but want to access the CF site and not excited about using terminal. I think that it is easy, but that is maybe just me.

step (1) cd opt/coldfusion8/bin
step (2) sudo ./coldfusion start
step (3) enter admin password

I am using Ubuntu 8.04

John,

I run Ubuntu 8.04 an have a very basic CF8 install on it.  What I did was have CF start during boot by adding a file to /etc/init.d/ called coldfuison.  This is the contents of that file:

#!/bin/sh
# start the cf server

case "$1" in
'start')
        /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion -start
        ;;
'stop')
        /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion -stop
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac
exit 0


If you decide to use it, make sure that the two paths are correct for your install.  This then runs during boot up so that the CF server will be available to any and everyone, even before they log in.  Also make sure the permissions are correct on that file, or it won't run.  i've got root:root and 755.  Doing it this way, you won't be prompted for a password ever and you won't have to add the other people's logins to the sudoers group.  

You could also enable CF for each user on login by adding it to their "startup" que.  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-add-a-program-to-the-ubuntu-startup-list-after-login/  I don't have a GUI on my server, so I couldn't test that to see if it actually works - sorry!

Hi Jefferey,
Thanks so much for your help! This looks like it will work out great:)

I am a new user using Ubuntu at school, as I usually use the Mac OS X  
at home. So far I really like it. The current machine is used by  
multiple people(students, teachers, me), and this will come in handy.
  I just put the file colsfusion in /etc/init.d/ really just copied  
and paste what you have here. This will start the CF server on system  
init? yep the install names are the same /opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion
Thanks so much for your help:)

On Solaris/Linux/MacOSX systems use {cf_home}/bin/cf-init.sh to add or remove ColdFusion init scripts.

----
The cf-init.sh script will properly install the startup and kill scripts so that ColdFusion will start upon system startup.

   1. Cd to coldfusion8/bin.
   2. Run "cf-init.sh install" as root, or with sudo, to properly install the startup and kill scripts.
   3. Run "cf-init.sh uninstall" as root, or with sudo, to remove the scripts.
