Controlling individual services

You can use the atscale_service_control program to control individual services. For example, to manage just the AtScale engine service:

/opt/atscale/bin/atscale_service_control status engine
/opt/atscale/bin/atscale_service_control restart engine

Type /opt/atscale/bin/atscale_service_control for help with this command.

Starting and Stopping AtScale Services Manually

You can start and stop all AtScale services by using the atscale_start and atscale_stop scripts. You can also manage individual services using the atscale_service_control program.

Your AtScale installation has two scripts to conveniently start and stop all AtScale services at once:

/opt/atscale/bin/atscale_start
/opt/atscale/bin/atscale_stop

Starting AtScale Services Automatically on System Restart

Red Hat and CentOS

You can use a service script to start all AtScale services automatically if the server running AtScale is restarted.

1. Copy the service script to the system's /etc/init.d folder. The script is located in the AtScale home directory, which is /opt/atscale by default.

   mv <Path_to_the_AtScale_home_directory>/bin/atscale_service.init.d /etc/init.d/atscale_service
   

2. Register the service.

   Note: Your user account must be root or have sudo permission to run this command.

   chkconfig atscale_service on
   

3. Confirm that the service is enabled.

   chkconfig --list | grep atscale
   

   The chkconfig command should display this output:

   atscale_service 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
   

4. Modify /etc/systemd/system.conf and update the DefaultLimitNOFILE line to the following:

   DefaultLimitNOFILE=65536
   

UBUNTU

Note: All of the following steps are either done as root, or using the sudo command.

1. Copy the service script to the system's /etc/init.d folder:

   1. Locate the atscale_service.init.d script in the /opt/atscale/current/bin folder.

   2. Copy the script (using the new atscale_service name) as shown in the example below:

      cp /opt/atscale/current/bin/atscale_service.init.d /etc/init.d/atscale_service
      

2. Change the permissions on the file:

   chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/atscale_service
   

3. Modify the init.d script to contain Ubuntu specific functionality

   ### BEGIN INIT INFO
   # Provides: atscale_service
   # Required-Start: $all
   # Required-Stop:
   # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
   # Default-Stop:
   # Short-Description: your description here
   ### END INIT INFO
   

4. Create a symlink in the /etc/rc2.d folder

   cd /etc/rc2.d
   ln -s ../etc/init.d/atscale_service
   mv atscale_service S01atscale_service
   

5. Enable the service

   update-rc.d atscale_service enable
