Simple startup on boot of misc application (Java based) on Ubuntu Linux 8+ as a daemon
- by Berlin Brown
What is the easiest way to have an application launch at startup on Ubuntu server as daemon? This is a java application (java com.run.run.Run) etc.
How would I have it launch as a user and possibly have access to write to some log file where the user has permissions to write?
And if I don't end up doing that, how would I launch the application as the root user at startup.
Edited: It is a headless server, I don't have access to the desktop applications.
