This article was very helpful.

Some additions, don’t forget to make the glassfish startscript executable:
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/glassfish

And it is not wise to run the application server as root. To run as eg user “glassfish”, follow these steps (CentOS):
1. # adduser -M –shell /bin/false glassfish
2. # chown -R glassfish:glassfish /opt/
3. Modify the startscript and add “sudo -u glassfish” in front of all asadmin commands.

Very helpful. You have our thanks. The service script example was a real time saver.

A couple suggestions for other readers and a possible edit:

* Be cautious of cutting and pasting smart quotes from web pages into shell scripts.

* The last two lines of the service script example should probably be three lines…

Instead of

exit 1
esac

we suggest

exit 1
;;
esac
