Previously, the default launch script would send SIGTERM once and then
wait for up to 60 seconds for the app to have stopped. If the service
was stopped immediately after being started the first SIGTERM would
occasionally be ignored (presumably because the JVM was not yet in a
state to handle it) causing the service stop request to fail.
This commit updates the launch script to resend SIGTERM to the process
if it's still running 30 seconds after the first SIGTERM was sent.
Closes gh-4941
$arguments needs to be split on spaces so it can’t just be wrapped
in quotes. This commit updates arguments to be an array that is then
expanded ("{arguments[@]}"). The use of @ and double quotes means that
it is expanded into all elements individually quoted.
See gh-4866
81a4763 introduced a regression when multiple RUN_ARGS or JAVA_OPTS were
configured. Rather than the JVM being launched with multiple arguments
all of the RUN_ARGS or JAVA_OPTS were passed as a single argument. This
caused unexpected behaviour and typically caused the application to fail
to start.
This commit updates the quoting of the arguments the are supplied when
launching the app using start-stop-daemon so that space-separated
entries in RUN_ARGS and JAVA_OPTS remain separate.
Closes gh-4866
Previously, the launch script used which to determine the availability
of start-stop-daemon. which isn’t available by default on all OSs.
For example, it’s not available by default on CentOS 5.
This commit updates the launch script to use type when determining if
start-stop-daemon is available. This improves the portability of the
script and makes the use of type consistent throughout the script.
Closes gh-4925
Previously, the launch script would wait for the pid file to exist
before continuing. This didn’t work 100% of the time as it left a
window where the file had been created but the PID had not been written
to it that could result in an incorrect report of the app failing to
start.
This commit updates the script to wait for the file to have a size
greater than zero before continuing. This ensures that the pid has
been written to the file before the pid is read from the file and used
to check that the process is running.
Closes gh-4923
Exiting with 0 when cd fails is likely to be incorrectly interpreted
as success so we should exit with a non-zero value. Ideally, the init
script status action would exit with 4 but, at the point when
the cd is performed, we don’t even know if we’re running as an init
script. Exiting with 1 seems to be a reasonable compromise as it’s
fine for the non init-script case as well as being correct for all
init script actions other than status.
See gh-4653
Allow users to easily opt-opt of using the start-stop-daemon in the
launch script. This may be required on distros that include older
versions.
Fixes gh-4732
There’s a race condition in start-stop-daemon when --make-pidfile and
--background are used together [1]. This race condition can lead to the
command returning before the PID file has been created. The missing PID
file then causes the launch script to incorrectly report that the
service failed to start.
This commit updates the launch script to wait for up to 10 seconds for
the PID file to be created when start-stop-daemon is used to launch the
app.
Closes gh-4524

Update the launch script so that the PID file is not longer removed at
the beginning of the stop method. Prior to this commit if a service
wasn't able to stop on the first run, it wasn't possible to use the
launch script anymore.
Fixes gh-4369
Closes gh-4371
The HUP signal was being used to stop the service and for some reason,
sometimes it was being ignored. This commit change forces the use of the
TERM signal (the default signal of kill).
Fixes gh-4378
Closes gh-4414
By default, start-stop-daemon will chdir to the root directory before
starting the process. This prevents an application.properties file that
sits alongside the jar from being found.
This commit updates the call to start-stop-daemon to use --chdir to
set the working directory to that of the jar that’s being launched.
Closes gh-4281
Update the "INIT INFO section" of `launch.script` to include
`initInfoProvides`, `initInfoShortDescription` and `initInfoDescription`
property substitutions.
The Maven plugin has been updated to populate substitutions with
`${project.artifactId}`, `${project.name}` and `${project.description}`.
Fixes gh-4245
The init script spec [1] describes a number of requirements with which
our launch.script did not comply. This commit makes the following
corrections:
- Add support for force-reload which should be implemented by all
init scripts
- Don't fail restart if the service is already stopped or not running
- Consider stop to be successful if the service is already stopped
- Exit with 1 if stop fails (indicating a generic or unspecified error)
rather than 3 (unimplemented feature)
- Report a status of 1 if app is not running but the pid file exists
- Report a status of 3 if the app is not running (no pid file)
Closes gh-4231

Previously, the launch script would always use a file named
<appname>.log to capture the application's console output. This commit
adds a variable, LOG_FILENAME, for specifying the file name defaulting
to <appname>.log.
Fixes gh-4194
Update `launch.script` to use `start-stop-daemon` when possible to
manage daemon processes. When `start-stop-daemon` is not available `su`
is used.
Closes gh-4137
The recommended usage for the java executable is:
java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
This commit updates the default launch script to match this recommended
usage by moving -jar to be the last option, after both the
disableJarChecking system property and any JAVA_OPTS.
Closes gh-3930
Use "return" instead of "exit" where possible, especially in
function definitions.
Also fixed the exit codes to match the LSB spec for some specific
conditions (fixes gh-3521).
Fixes gh-3199, fixes gh-3535
