I’ve finally managed to get Jetty7 running as a service in Debian.

Still, I’m unsure if I made the right steps or didn’t forget something.

So far, I’ve done the following:

  1. Untared the downloaded tar file to /opt/jetty-distribution-$JETTY_VERSION
  2. Created a softlink `/opt/jetty pointing to /opt/jetty-distribution-$JETTY_VERSION
  3. Copied the jetty.sh file (found in /opt/bin/jetty.etc to /etc/init.d
  4. Uncommented the three lines (like the comments in the sh file say)

Is this okay? I didn’t set $JETTY_HOME, JAVA_HOME, JAVA explicitely, as Jetty seems to be able to figure them out.

    I don’t know anything about Debian but in SUSE/Redhat you’d have to actually add that to your runlevels

    chkconfig –add jetty.sh

    and there are some header lines you should have at the beginning of jetty.sh (take a look at other /etc/init.d stuff for example)
