Issue/Introduction

This article will provide information on how to configure the TIBCO Spotfire Server to start at boot, so when a server gets a 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.
  1. Become root user on your Linux server
  2. Create or copy your script under /etc/init.d/
  3. 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
