[Helma-user] helma startup script on FreeBSD

[Julian Tree]

Just to follow up on this, in case others having the same problem  
getting helma to automatically starting up  on freebsd. I recently  
has the "privileg" of visiting where the actually server is located.  
Trust me, it was not by choice.

I witness the startup process on the monitor, and I notice that when  
the startup scripts hit the helma startup.sh,  it complained "java  
not found", everything all the sudden just make sense.

I just added the following line in the helma/start.sh (it is actually  
commented out)

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local

of course you should set it to the proper location where java is  
installed.

And now it works.  Below is my simple script for helma auto startup  
on freebsd 6.1.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/helma.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
#

echo "Starting Helma"
daemon '/helma/start.sh'

exit 0
