To install IBM® UrbanCode™ Release as a service on Linux, add an executable init script to your system after you install IBM UrbanCode Release.

    See Installing and configuring the server.
  2. Create an executable init script and place it in the /etc folder.

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo -n "Starting UrbanCode service"
    date "+Start OK in Dir /CTA: %d - %m - %Y at %T" > /opt/services_started.txt
    sh /opt/IBM/UCRelease/server/server.startup
    ;;
  stop)
    echo -n "Stopping UrbanCode service"
    date "+Stop OK in Dir /CTA: %d - %m - %Y at %T" > /opt/services_stopped.txt
    sh /opt/IBM/UCRelease/server/server.shutdown
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: IBM Products {start|stop}"
    exit 1
  esac

  exit 0
  3. Add the service to your system with a command similar to this one: /sbin/chkconfig --add init_uc.
  4. Turn on the service with a command similar to this example: chkconfig init_uc on.
  5. Optional: Make sure that the service is added to your system by listing the service: chkconfig --list init_uc.
To turn off the service, use a command similar to this one: chkconfig init_uc off.
