Page History

This page describes how to configure auto-start for Nuxeo server on Mac OS X. You can download the scripts mentioned in the attachments section and modify paths etc accordingly.
1) Create a wrapper script named "nuxeo-launchd.sh" and put it in home bin folder (~/bin).
nuxeo-launchd.sh

Code Block

language	bash
title	nuxeo-launched.sh
linenumbers	true

#! /bin/sh
# nuxeo-launchd.sh
#
# Wrapper script that starts Nuxeo. This is needed for proper interaction with launchd.
#---------------------------------------------------------
# Helper functions
#---------------------------------------------------------
# NOTE: We are inheriting NUXEO_HOME from launchd, because its value
#       was defined in the launchd plist configuration file.
 
export NUXEO_BIN=$NUXEO_HOME/bin
export NUXEO_CONF=${NUXEO_BIN}/nuxeo.conf
export NUXEO_HOST=127.0.0.1
function shutdown() {
     
    # Bye Nuxeo!
    echo "Shutting down Nuxeo... "
    $NUXEO_BIN/nuxeoctl stop
    echo "done."
     
}
 
function startup() {
         
    # Let's go!
    echo "Starting up Nuxeo... "
    $NUXEO_BIN/nuxeoctl start
     
    # Register the shutdown function as callback to execute when a signal
    # is sent to this process.
    trap shutdown HUP INT QUIT ABRT KILL ALRM TERM TSTP
    echo "done."
     
}
 
#---------------------------------------------------------
# Let's go
#---------------------------------------------------------
startup
while true; do
    sleep 86400 &
    wait $!
done

Set permission:

Code Block

language	bash

chmod +x ~/bin/nuxeo-launchd.sh

Create launchd configuration file:

Code Block

language	bash

sudo vim /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pi.nuxeo.plist

And add the content in the file:

Code Block

language	xml
title	/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pi.nuxeo.plist
linenumbers	true

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.pi.nuxeo</string>
    <key>ServiceDescription</key>
    <string>Nuxeo Server</string>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>pterobyte</string>
    <key>GroupName</key>
    <string>staff</string>
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NUXEO_HOME</key>
        <string>/Users/pterobyte/nuxeo-cap-5.9.3-tomcat</string>
    </dict>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/pterobyte/bin/nuxeo-launchd.sh</string>
    </array>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/Users/pterobyte/logs/nuxeo-launchd-stdout.log</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/Users/pterobyte/logs/nuxeo-launchd-stderr.log</string>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Now test the launchd scripts: (please stop Nuxeo before the test)

Code Block

language	bash

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pi.nuxeo.plist
