Openfire daemon script for linux references non-existing file openfire.sh

even if we create a softlink to openfire script, the init script does not work
It does not start / stop the server
the status reporting is also not working (.pid and /var/run/ files)

The line of code in /etc/init.d/openfired where ./openfire.sh is referenced contains other TWO errors.

On my system "su" can't access /root/.bashrc file. Workaround: I added '-' option before - $OPENFIRE_USER
Then, on my system it was not able to access ./openfire script because "su" changes the current directory to /home/jive

Completely i've fixed it by:
1. Adding export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_13/ to /home/jive/.bashrc file
2. Change the body of execCommand()
function execCommand() {
OLD_PWD=`pwd`
cd $OPENFIRE_HOME/bin
CMD="./openfire $1"
su -c "cd $OPENFIRE_HOME/bin && $CMD" - $OPENFIRE_USER &
sleep 1 # allows prompt to return
cd $OLD_PWD
}

it looks a little awfull, can you fix it later, please.
Anyway. Thank you for EXCELLENT software!

Configuration:

1. which java
   /usr/bin/which: no java in .....
2. uname -a
   Linux Tout 2.4.24 #4 Mon Jul 26 21:25:25 NOVST 2004 i586 unknown
3. su -c "export | grep JAVA" - jive
   declare -x JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_13/"
   CPU: 1 Intel Pentium 166 MMX
   RAM: 128Mb

the function execCommand() does not work as is and I simply modified it to do the following:

-------------
execCommand() {
bin/su $OPENFIRE_USER $OPENFIRE_HOME/bin/openfire
}
------------

It works and note that there is no .sh

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Could folks on this ticket please comment some more on if the current version of Openfire (3.5.1) still contains these issues?

thanks!

Hi,

I am closing this issue as I believe it to be fixed. If anybody objects, please let me know.

Openfire 3.6.4 still has this issue.

Lines 52 and 53 of bin/extra/openfired read:

cd $OPENFIRE_HOME/bin

CMD="./openfire.sh $1"

However, there is no such file. The file that does exist is:

OPENFIRE_HOME/bin/openfire

Changing line 54 of the openfired script to read the following resolves this issue:

CMD="./openfire $1"
