For TIBCO MFT Command Center 
============================

1. Create a Unit file in /etc/systemd/system/ titled mftcc.service 

Contents of the Unit file:

[Unit]
Description=MFT Command Center Service

[Service]

Type=oneshot
ExecStart=<MFTCC>/server/bin/startup.sh
RemainAfterExit=true
StandardOutput=journal
ExecStop=<MFTCC>/server/bin/shutdown.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Save the Unit file.

3. Run 'systemctl enable mftcc.service'. // enables the service to start automatically after a reboot.

4. Run 'systemctl start mftcc.service'. // starts the service 

5. To check if the process is started: 'systemctl status mftcc.service'. 

6. To stop the service: 'systemctl stop mftcc.service'.

Note: Steps 3 and 4 need to be performed only once, that is, after unit file creation.
