How to write a startup script












0















I want to write a startup script file, that start my kafka environment.



I tried as following:



#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/zookeeper-3.4.11/bin/zkServer.sh start
/usr/local/kafka_2.12-1.0.0/bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon /usr/local/kafka_2.12-1.0.0/config/server.properties


The problem is, it starts only the zookeeper but not kafka server.

What am I doing wrong?

          Assuming that this script doesn't need sudo privileges.



          One way to autostart a script is use a Desktop Autostarting method.



          In Ubuntu you can do it like this,




          • Create a file in .config/autostart from your home directory with an extension of .desktop


          Say you created zookeeper.desktop then open and include this format.



          For Zookeeper Entry



          [Desktop Entry]

          Type=Application

          Name=Zookeeper

          Exec=/usr/local/zookeeper-3.4.11/bin/zkServer.sh start


          Then create a separate one for:



          For Kafra Entry



          [Desktop Entry]

          Type=Application

          Name=kafra

          Exec=/usr/local/kafka_2.12-1.0.0/bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon /usr/local/kafka_2.12-1.0.0/config/server.properties


          or just the script your made



          For your Script Entry



          [Desktop Entry]

          Type=Application

          Name=/name/of/your/script

          Exec=/path/to/your/script


          Then you can do it like this(sudo)



          add the path of your script to /etc/rc.local(open and edit rc.local)



          /path/to/your/script &



          exit 0



          if it doesn't exist but it your system have /etc/rc.d1 to 6
          just simply add your script inside that folder and will be executed with sudo rights.

          A variant of the approach described above is to modify the Exec command in the .desktop file as follows:



              Exec=gnome-terminal -- /path/to/your/script.sh start


          This has two advantages




          1. You can store your script anywhere you like without having to modify anything in rc.local or /etc

          2. You launch the script within a new terminal window which allows you to see the prompt of the script and e.g. type in a required sudo password in case your script contains a sudo command.
