Description

This article will provide information on how to configure the TIBCO Spotfire Server to start at boot, so when a server gets rebooted, Spotfire will start automatically.

Environment

OS: Linux

Resolution

By default TIBCO Spotfire Server is not set to start on boot on the supported Linux machines. Below are the steps to have a program or script start on boot on a Linux machine, if you use the RPM install package.

Become root user on your Linux server
Create or copy your script under /etc/init.d/
You can set it to boot by running either one of these commands (on Redhat). Recommended for Redhat 7 or newer:

systemctl enable tss-versionnumber

For example:

systemctl enable tss-10.3.0

Or alternatively:

chkconfig --add tss-versionnumber
chkconfig tss-versionnumber on

4. Confirm script is added successfully with --list

chkconfig --list tss-versionnumber

5. This script will be called to start services on Linux boot.

Note: In case you need to disable auto-start, then you can use the following commands:

systemctl disable tss-versionnumber

or:

chkconfig tss-versionnumber off
