How to automatically start Spotfire Server after server reboot in Linux

How to automatically start the Spotfire Server on server reboot in Linux

Solution:

This article will provide information on how to configure the Spotfire Server to start at boot, so when a server gets rebooted, Spotfire will start automatically. 

By default Spotfire Server is not set to start on boot on the supported Linux machines. Below are the steps to have a program or script start on boot on a Linux machine, if you use the RPM install package. 

1. Become root user on your Linux server

2. Create or copy your script under /etc/init.d/

3. You can set it to boot by running either one of these commands (on Redhat). 

Recommended for Redhat 7 or newer:     systemctl enable tss-versionnumber

For example:     systemctl enable tss-10.3.0

Or alternatively:     chkconfig --add tss-versionnumber chkconfig tss-versionnumber

  4. Confirm script is added successfully with --list command:     chkconfig --list tss-versionnumber

  5. This script will be called to start services on Linux boot.         

Note: In case you need to disable auto-start, then you can use the following commands: 

systemctl disable tss-versionnumber 

or: 

chkconfig tss-versionnumber off
