Starting OpenESB as a service with systemd

The following is a sample for OpenESB service with systemd. We assume that

The service is called openesb
The path to OpenESB is /opt/openesb-3.1.2/OE-Instance
The path to the JDK is /etc/alternatives/jre

Please modify all the above as appropriate. First let’s create the service by typing the following command

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/openesb.service

The content of the file should be as follow

[Unit]
Description=OpenESB Standalone Service
After=network.target httpd.service
 
[Service]
Type=simple

ExecStop=/opt/openesb-3.1.2/OE-Instance/bin/openesb.sh stop
 
[Install]

To start OpenESB type the following

sudo systemctl start openesb

Once you assert it is working type you can stop it if needs be by typing the followinf
