Duh. I should have thought of that. I'm a big fan of djbdns so I'm quite
familiar with daemontools.
Thanks!
:) My pleasure. Was nice to hear recently that DJB is moving toward more
flexible licensing terms. For anyone unfamiliar w/ daemontools, here's
DJB's explanation of why they rock compared to inittab, ttys, init.d, and
rc.local:
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/faq/create.html#why
in case anybody wants to know, here's how to run solr under daemontools.
1. install daemontools
2. create /etc/solr
3. create a user and group called solr
4. create shell script /etc/solr/run (edit to taste, i'm using the
default jetty that comes with solr)
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
cd /usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/example
exec setuidgid solr java -jar start.jar
4. create /etc/solr/log/run containing:
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid solr multilog t ./main
5. ln -s /etc/solr /service/solr
that is all. as long as you've got svscan set to launch when the system
boots, solr will run and auto-restart on crashes. logs will be in
/service/solr/log/main (auto-rotated).
yay.
