I agree with the whole script idea.  In the howto, I think that we should specify where they should install the jdk and such, that way its easier for newbies to follow, and the script is that much easier to write.

Instead of instructions on how to export the java_home and compiere_home, maybe we had better install a start-up script, like:

  • #! /bin/sh -e
  • # /etc/init.d startup script for ADempiere
  • # path to JAVA_HOME, usually /usr/lib/jvm/iava-1.5.0-sun
  • JAVA_HOME = /path/to/java_home
  • # path to ADempiere_home, usually ....
  • ADEMPIERE_HOME = /path/to/adempiere
  • # add to path
  • PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:ADEMPIERE_HOME/utils:$PATH
  • EXPORT JAVA_HOME, ADEMPIERE_HOME
  • # run ADempiere
  • /ADEMPIERE_HOME/utils/RUN_Server2.sh

And save it as adempiere.sh in /etc/init.d . Then, we update the start-up with the script

  •  % update-rc.d adempiere defaults

and give it executable status

  • $chmod +x adempiere

Looks good.
