We have a tomcat application that requires some initialization after<br>
tomcat starts up. That is, we run an initialize script after catalina.out<br>
says ?'Server startup in:'. Currently we do this in a number of ways:<br>
manually, through a custom tail script, or through logstash. But I¹m<br>
thinking it might be best to let the init system do it. Is this a good<br>
idea? And if so, how best to implement it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>systemd will not react to stdout messages, but it does have Type=notify which will react to a "READY=1" message sent via Unix socket – ideally directly by the program (see sd_notify, $NOTIFY_SOCKET) but also possibly via the `systemd-notify` tool:</div><div><br></div><div> sd_notify(0, "READY=1");</div><div><br></div><div> systemd-notify --ready </div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Mantas Mikulėnas <<a href="mailto:grawity@gmail.com" target="_blank">grawity@gmail.com</a>></div></div></div></div></span></body></html>
