=Overview=

This procedure applies when the installation was done by unzipping or via the installer. This does not apply to an RPM installation. 

The procedure is similar for standalone mode and domain mode. The only difference is the name of the original startup scripts (<tt>jboss-as-standalone.sh</tt>, <tt>jboss-as-domain.sh</tt> below).

Note that this procedure differs slightly from the manual procedure (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.4/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Service_Configuration.html#Install_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Service). This procedure is simpler, and does not require supplementary configuration files in <tt>/etc</tt>.

=Locate the Pre-Packaged Startup Scripts=

They are available in <tt>$JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d</tt> as <tt>jboss-as-domain.sh</tt> and <tt>jboss-as-standalone.sh</tt>.

=Install the Scripts into their Standard Locations=

Perform the following operations as "root", name the scripts accordingly:

For a standalone installation, name the script <tt>jboss</tt>.

<pre>
cp $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh  /etc/init.d/jboss
</pre>

For a domain installation, name the script <tt>jboss-host-controller</tt>, regardless of whether we're configuring to start the domain controller or a subordinate host controller. This is because on the domain controller host, the domain controller process and the host controller process coincide.

<pre>
cp $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-as-domain.sh  /etc/init.d/jboss-host-controller
</pre>

=Customize the WildFly Startup Wrapper=

=Add the Startup Script As a Service=

<pre>
chkconfig --add jboss|jboss-host-controller
chkconfig --list jboss|jboss-host-controller
chkconfig --level 2345 jboss|jboss-host-controller on
</pre>
