Does an osx jrun panel exist?

vyju said on Aug 22, 2003 at 10:12 AM :

I have installed JRun4 webser 4months ago, I have not tried to run the server since then.
Now Iam going through the after installation notes. I am stuck while starting the JMC; it asks for username
and password which I created during installing the software.
The problem here is I dont remember the username and password. Now what should I do?

Please let me know

thanks
vyju

Platform OS X

Is it possible to auto start a server on restart? Seems a pain to have to do it manually every time I start up

Alphagetties said on Apr 16, 2004 at 10:57 PM :

a start up on login would be nice for os x.

Is anyone else having very long response times with JRun 4 on Mac os
X. My startups using Jrun Launcher take forever

how to auto start a server on sytem boot? please advise.

I am also looking for a way to automatically start JRun admin server at boot up. As of 2/22/2005, this matter is not discussed anywhere on the Macromedia site.

jrunrandy said on Feb 22, 2005 at 1:44 PM :

I think that the JRun install does this automatically. If not, you can use the standard UNIX etc/init.d directory to automatically start the JRun admin server. The command to start the admin server is jrun_root/bin/jrun -start admin

Neil Y said on Feb 22, 2005 at 2:03 PM :

The standard JRun install that I performed did not make the JRun server start by default at boot up. Also, the standard startup for JRun (if placed in init.d or other startup directories) will halt the boot process. The reason I found is that it does not actually run as a daemon per se but requires the shell session to continue running. In other words, if you log in and type this:

jrun_dir/bin/jrun -start admin

it will start the server but keep your session open. If you press ctrl-c or log out in some way, the admin server dies too. However, I found the command (buried in JRun Administrator's Guide docs) "-nohup" which starts the server without keeping a shell open.

/jrun_dir/bin/jrun -nohup -start admin

If this is placed in a script that is executed at boot up it will start the server and won't halt the rest of the UNIX/Linux machine's boot process. I chose to append to rc.local where it is run at boot time.

However, I doubt that this is a 'graceful' solution. I have no idea what happens when I do a reboot or whether it shuts down gracefully, although so far rebooting doesn't cause any obvious errors. In other words, this solution is functional, but probably not pretty. ...and the -nohup arg for jrun boot startup is very well hidden in the documentation.

Great article about writing OS X Startup Items…
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/10/21/startup.html

It really works!

tamcy said on Feb 23, 2005 at 4:06 PM :

as root or sudo
cd /System/Library/StartupItems

mkdir JRun

cd JRun

create file named StartupParameters.plist
with the following content:
{
Description = "JRun application server";
Provides = ("Application Server");
Requires = ("DirectoryServices");
Uses = ("NFS");
OrderPreference = "None";
}
save file.
next, create a file named JRun. (It must have the same name as
the directory where it lives.) with the following content:
#!/bin/sh

##
# Macromedia JRun J2EE Application Server
##

. /etc/rc.common

StartService ()
{
ConsoleMessage "Starting default JRun server"
cd /Library/JRun4/bin
./jrun -start default &
}

StopService ()
{
ConsoleMessage "Stopping default JRun server"
cd /Library/JRun4/bin
./jrun -stop default
}

RestartService ()
{
ConsoleMessage "Restarting default JRun server"
cd /Library/JRun4/bin
./jrun -restart default &
}

JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/
Versions/1.4.2/Home/bin/java; export JAVA_HOME
RunService "$1"

You'll need to insert your own paths to java and JRun start up
scripts.

Next Restart to make sure it works.

I have a problem about shutdown the jun in LINUX system.
I install the jrun as a service when boot up, and record the startup context in log. The logs show s well.
Hoever, the jrun can't stop when the system is halt or reboot. No stop context info is recorded down.

Hope somebody can help.

Here's the script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: 345 77 82
# description: starts/stop the Jrun server
#

Jrun_bin=/opt/jrun4/bin

case "$1" in
'start')

echo "Starting JRun"

su - jrun -c "$Jrun_bin/jrun -start >> /var/log/jrund.log 2>&1 "

touch /var/lock/subsys/jrun4
;;
'stop')

echo "Stopping JRun"

su - jrun -c "$Jrun_bin/jrun -stop >> /var/log/jrund.log 2>&1 "

rm -f /var/lock/subsys/jrun4
;;
'restart')
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
'status')
$Jrun_bin/jrun -status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: jrun {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0

Hi all

I have installed JRun v4 server on a SUN Solaris server. The install went fine and all the directories and executables were created.
The problem is that i am not able to start the Jrun admin server. I tried it as root and as a normal user. But it gives me error on trying to start the server. The commands i am using are : "sh ./jrun -start admin &" or "./jrun -start admin &" and even "./jrun" ; all of which gives me the error as :-
./jrun : syntax error at line 1 : '(' unexpected

I have downloaded the install directly on Solaris machine after reading at some discussion site that the install should not be downloaded on Windows machine. But the problem continues... Plz help.

In general, you will get a better and quicker answer by posting questions like this to the online forums: http://webforums.macromedia.com/jrun. However, I'll give it a shot.

When you issue the jrun command, are you located in the jrun_root/bin directory?

Maybe try changing to the jrun_root/bin directory and use ./jrun start admin
(that is, don't use a dash before start).

Also, what version of Solaris are you using? I don't know versions JRun supports, but that could be an issue.

I am getting a NoSuchMethodException: setURL when trying to start the admin server using the JRun Launcher. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
