Project Modules

There are no modules declared in this project.

Capsule Daemon

A caplet that runs a Java capsule as a Unix service through jsvc and as a Windows service through procrun.

NOTE: currently capsule-daemon doesn't support Application-Script capsules.

Requirements

In addition to Capsule's, only if the platform is not Windows, Linux 64 bit nor Mac OS X then jsvc must be correctly installed locally.

Usage

The Gradle-style dependency you need to embed in your Capsule JAR, which you can generate with the tool you prefer (f.e. with plain Maven/Gradle as in Photon and capsule-gui-demo or higher-level Capsule build plugins), is co.paralleluniverse:capsule-daemon:0.2.0. Also include the caplet class in your Capsule manifest, for example:

    Caplets: MavenCapsule DaemonCapsule

capsule-daemon can also be run as a wrapper capsule without embedding it:

$ java -Dcapsule.log=verbose -jar capsule-daemon-0.2.0.jar my-capsule.jar my-capsule-arg1 ...

It can be both run against (or embedded in) plain (e.g. "fat") capsules and Maven-based ones.

Additional Capsule manifest entries

The following additional manifest entries and system properties can be used to customize capsule-daemon's behaviour (see the jsvc docs and the procrun docs for further details):

• Both Unix and Windows:
  • Manifest entries:
    • Daemon-Start-Class: class containing the start method (default: app's main).
    • Daemon-Start-Method: static String[] -> void service start method short name run as the specified, if any (default: app's main).
    • Daemon-Stop-Class: class containing the stop method (default: none).
    • Daemon-Stop-Method: static String[] -> void service stop method short name run as the specified, if any (default: none).
    • Daemon-User: the username under which the service will run. The capsule.daemon.user system property can override it.
    • Daemon-Cwd: working directory of start/stop (default: / on Unix). The capsule.daemon.cwd system property can override it.
    • Daemon-Stdout-File: stdout (default: /dev/null on Unix, <logpath>/service-stdout.YEAR-MONTH-DAY.log on Windows). The capsule.daemon.stdoutFile system property can override it.
    • Daemon-Stderr-File: stdout (default: /dev/null on Unix, <logpath>/service-stderr.YEAR-MONTH-DAY.log on Windows). . The capsule.daemon.stderrFile system property can override it.
    • Daemon-PID-File: PID file (default: /var/run/<appid>.pid on Unix, <logpath>/<appid>.pid on Windows). The capsule.daemon.pidFile system property can override it.
  • System properties:
    • capsule.daemon.stop: if true or barely present will stop a running service rather than starting one.
• Only Unix:
  • System properties:
    • capsule.daemon.checkOnly: jsvc check run, won't start the service.
    • capsule.daemon.debug: turn on debug jsvc logging.
    • capsule.daemon.verbose: turn on verbose jsvc logging.
    • capsule.daemon.jsvc: specifies the pathname of a system-installed jsvc command to be used instead of the one provided by capsule-daemon.
  • Manifest entries:
    • Init-Class: class containing the init method (default: none).
    • Init-Method: static String[] -> String[] service initialization method, it will be run as root; the return value will be passed to the Start method (default: none).
    • Destroy-Class: class containing the destroy method (default: none).
    • Destroy-Method: static void -> void cleanup method, it will be run as root (default: none).
    • No-Detach: don't detach from the parent process. The capsule.daemon.noDetach system property can override it.
    • Keep-Stdin: don't redirect the standard input to /dev/null. The capsule.daemon.keepStdin system property can override it.
    • Wait-Secs: Wait seconds for service readiness, must be multiple of 10. The capsule.daemon.waitSecs system property can override it.
• Only Windows
  • Daemon-Password: the password of the user under which the service will run (default: none). The capsule.daemon.password system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Java-Exec-User: the password of the user that will execute the final Java process (default: none). The capsule.daemon.javaExecUser system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Java-Exec-Password: the password of the user that will execute the final Java process (default: none). The capsule.daemon.javaExecPassword system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Service-Name: the service internal name (default: app ID). The capsule.daemon.serviceName system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Display-Name: the service display name (default: app ID). The capsule.daemon.displayName system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Description: the service description (default: app ID). The capsule.daemon.description system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Startup: the service startup mode, either auto or manual (default: manual). The capsule.daemon.startup system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Type: the service type, it can be interactive (default: none). The capsule.daemon.type system property can override it.
  • Daemon-DependsOn: the list of service dependencies (default: none). The capsule.daemon.dependsOn system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Stop-Params: the list of service stop parameters (default: none). The capsule.daemon.stopParams system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Stop-Timeout: service stop timeout in seconds (default: none). The capsule.daemon.stopTimeout system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Log-Path: the log path (default: %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles\Apache). The capsule.daemon.logPath system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Log-Prefix: the log prefix (default: app ID). The capsule.daemon.logPrefix system property can override it.
  • Daemon-Log-Level: the log level between error, info, warn and debug (default: info). The capsule.daemon.logLevel system property can override it.

Notes

• jsvc with default settings (due to the default PID file location) and procrun in any case (for service installation, uninstallation and upgrade) require resp. root and administrative privileges.
• Launch, Java and service execution users must all be able to access the same Capsule's cache directory. You can set it to a commonly accessible location (for example in /tmp/capsule) through the CAPSULE_CACHE_DIR environment variable.
