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

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

        4.  Confirm script is added successfully with --list

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
