ActiveMQ 5.9 startup script?

Question

I was looking at the startup script for ActiveMQ at http://activemq.apache.org/unix-service.html, but I realise that this is for version 4 of ActiveMQ, and the scripts seem to have changed a lot since then.

Was wondering if someone could share how to autostart ActiveMQ 5.9 on server startup? We are running on AIX 7.1.

Answer 1

ActiveMQ uses the Java Service Wrapper to run the broker.

You can easily configure Wrapper to be launched as a *nix service. (and AIX is Unix, hopefully)

Answer 2

For CentOS or Redhat:

systemctl enable activemq
