Startup Scripts for IceGrid and Glacier2 on Linux

All Ice distributions for Linux include the following service configuration files:

/etc/icegridregistry.conf
/etc/icegridnode.conf
/etc/glacier2router.conf

Distributions which use sysvinit or upstart contain the following sample scripts:

/etc/init.d/icegridregistry
/etc/init.d/icegridnode
/etc/init.d/glacier2router

Distributions which use systemd contain the following services:

icegridregistry.service
icegridnode.service
glacier2router.service

The installation on Linux also creates a user account and group for running these services (account ice and group ice), and data directories for icegridregistry and icegridnode (/var/lib/ice/icegrid/registry and /var/lib/ice/icegrid/node1).

By default, all these services are off at all runlevels. You need to manually switch on one or more runlevels, as shown below:

BASH

# On systems using svsvinit, configure the icegridregistry to start at the
# default run levels:
sudo chkconfig icegridregistry on
 
# On systems using systemd, start icegridregistry with the multi-user target
sudo systemctl enable icegridregistry.service

Before doing so, please review the script itself and its associated configuration file.
