Automatically Starting and Stopping an On-premises Snaplex on Linux

Using the following procedure, Im unable to have the service stop/start [FAILED]. Suggestions?

To add the Snaplex as a Service:

  1. Login to the Linux machine as root.

  2. Create a copy of jcc.sh file as follows:

cp /opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh /etc/init.d/snaplex

echo “export SL_ROOT=/opt/snaplogic” >> /etc/sysconfig/jcc

  1. Add the softlink to chkconfig management as follows:

chkconfig --add snaplex

cat /etc/system-release

CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

service snaplex restart

Restarting snaplex (via systemctl): Job for snaplex.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status snaplex.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
[FAILED]

systemctl is-enabled snaplex

snaplex.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig snaplex --level=5
enabled

BTW, This is my first time looking for support for SnapPlex. Please direct me to a better place to ask questions like this.

    The monitor process seems to failing to start due to some configuration error. /opt/snaplogic/run/log/monitor.log would be the log file to check the cause. If that file is not created, then adding an entry

    set -x

    as the second line in /etc/init.d/snaplex and then doing the service snaplex restart should generate additional logging information on the console.

    If that does not help, you can take a tar of the /opt/snaplogic/run/log folder and email to support@snaplogic.com for further help.

    Running with invalid version of bash or zip would be one possible cause. /bin/bash --version and /usr/bin/zip --version would indicate the version.
