Bamboo startup linux with chkconfig service

Atlassian provides with Bamboo a good start for an autostart procedure, however you need to make slight changes to get it working with the "chkconfig" or "service" commands.

Expected Directories:
#Init Script Folder: /etc/init.d
#Bamboo Install Folder: /opt/Bamboo
#Java Home: /usr/java

Create a link in your init script folder (i.e. /etc/init.d):
```
ln \-s /opt/Bamboo/bamboo.sh /etc/init.d/bamboo
```

Changes to the bamboo.sh script:

Top of the script after #!/bin/bash include

#
# ------------------------------------------------------
# Bamboo Startup Script for Unix
# ------------------------------------------------------
# bamboo	This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               bamboo.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: bamboo is a daemon for a build server
# processname: bamboo

cd /opt/Bamboo
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

start section you should include an autokill, as the shutdown seems not to go clean all the time! This is the new start section

  start)
        echo "Starting Bamboo: "

        if [ -f $BAMBOO_PID ]
        then
            echo "Already Running!!"
            PID=`cat $BAMBOO_PID 2>/dev/null`
            echo "Shutting down Bamboo: $PID"
            kill $PID 2>/dev/null
            sleep 2
            kill -9 $PID 2>/dev/null
            rm -f $BAMBOO_PID
        fi

        echo "STARTED Bamboo `date`" >> $BAMBOO_CONSOLE

        cd $BAMBOO_INSTALL
        nohup sh -c "exec $RUN_CMD 2>&1" >$BAMBOO_INSTALL/logs/bamboo.log &
        echo $! > $BAMBOO_PID
        echo "Bamboo running pid="`cat $BAMBOO_PID`
        ;;

Integrate with chkconfig and startup on level 345:

cd /etc/init.d
chkconfig --add bamboo
chkconfig --level 345 bamboo on

That should be it, once done you should be able to autostart the Bamboo server on every startup.

I would suggest a reboot to check your success.
