I'm trying to get Jenkins to start as a daemon from /etc/rc.conf. The folks at Jenkins advised that the best way to do this would be to use an "init script" passing this bit of code:
I found this ready piece of init written for this purpose and set about modifying it for FreeBSD. As the script should be placed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and since that location does not have a defaults folder, I decided to merge the default settings directly into the script. I made some headway, but in the end, java does not like the command being passed and gives two pages of advice on what arguments it will accept. Obviously I have overlooked something.
For those who are unaware, Jenkins can be used for "distributed compile" (for package building for example) together with poudriere. The old method of using distcc for the task does not work on 10-Current, mainly because distcc does not work yet with clang!
Anyway, the problem part of the script is in "do_start()" and I also don't understand why the script decides to call "su"?
The whole script:
The code goes on for a little more (you can see the original from the link) but my current problem is about getting the thing sastrted in the first place. As you can also see, I disabled some of the non-critical code because I have yet to find the FreeBSD equivalent parts for it.
If I start the command by typing it in the node, java starts without complaints.
