Adding Codebeamer service (auto startup)
Typically, when linux is booting, the
Codebeamer service should start automatically. The steps to configure this with
systemd service is:
• Create a Codebeamer user for running Codebeamer instance.
• Install Codebeamer: in our example Codebeamer is installed to /home/Codebeamer/CB directory
Create a new file as /etc/systemd/system/Codebeamer.service with this content:
[Unit]
Description=codebeamer service
After=network.target iptables.service firewalld.service firewalld.service httpd.service
[Service]
Type=forking
User=codebeamer
Environment=CB_HOME=/home/codebeamer/CB
ExecStart=/home/codebeamer/CB/bin/startup
ExecStop=/home/codebeamer/CB/bin/stop
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If necessary, modify the CB_HOME and User variables in the Service section the script. Remember to save it.
Now to enable the service startup at boot, execute this command:
sudo systemctl enable codebeamer.service
Codebeamer can be stopped by the command below:
sudo systemctl stop codebeamer.service
Codebeamer can be started by this command:
sudo systemctl start codebeamer.service
The status of the service can be queried by this command:
sudo systemctl status codebeamer.service
This will print out something like:
codebeamer.service - codebeamer service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/codebeamer.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Legacy: using init.d for startup
For older systems you can also use init.d service to start up
Codebeamer with the system. This is not recommended though as
systemd is replaced init.d !
Steps:
Create a new file in /etc/init.d/Codebeamer with this content:
#!/bin/bash
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: codebeamer
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $network
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start and stop codebeamer
# Description: Controls the codebeamer Server
### END INIT INFO
CB_HOME="/home/codebeamer/CB"
CB_OWNR="codebeamer"
case "$1" in
start)
# startup
echo -n "Starting codebeamer: "
su - $CB_OWNR -c "cd $CB_HOME/bin && $CB_HOME/bin/startup"
echo "OK"
;;
stop)
# shutdown
echo -n "Shutdown codebeamer: "
su - $CB_OWNR -c "cd $CB_HOME/bin && $CB_HOME/bin/stop"
echo "OK"
;;
reload|restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart|reload"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
If necessary, modify the CB_HOME and CB_OWNR variables at the start of the script. Remember to save it.
Now to activate the service, execute these commands:
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/codebeamer
$ sudo update-rc.d codebeamer defaults
It must be ensured that Codebeamer is not running before the service can be started or stopped.
Codebeamer can be stopped by the command below:
$ /home/codebeamer/CB/bin/stop
After this, the Codebeamer service is set up, and can be started/stopped using the service commands:
$ sudo service codebeamer start
$ sudo service codebeamer stop
