Running Streama as a Linux service (with autostart) (Ubuntu 14 and below) using etc init.d

Create a new config named streama under /etc/init.d/.

sudo su
touch /etc/init.d/streama

now add in this content:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: streama
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Streama
# Description: This file starts and stops Streama server
#
### END INIT INFO

STREAMA_DIR=/data/streama/

case "$1" in
 start)
   $STREAMA_DIR/streama.war
   ;;
 stop)
   $STREAMA_DIR/streama.war
   sleep 10
   ;;
 restart)
   $STREAMA_DIR/streama.war
   sleep 20
   $STREAMA_DIR/streama.war
   ;;
 *)
   echo "Usage: streama {start|stop|restart}" >&2
   exit 3
   ;;
esac

The above script assumes, that you placed your version of streama.war under /data/streama/. If you want to adjust any of this, make the appropriate adjustments in the above content.

Protip: If you update streama frequently, keep the file name as it is when downloading (i.e. streama-x.x.x.war) and link it to "streama.war".

ln -s streama-1.6.0-RC5.war streama.war

Finally, add the service to autostart:

sudo update-rc.d streama defaults
