rc.d script - daemon won't start

I've been trying all day to write this rc.d script to get PS3 Media Server to run as a daemon and I can't get it to work.  I think I'm getting closer though.  When I do /etc/rc.d/pms start it tries to start but says "/usr/bin/pms: line 50: exec: java: not found"  JRE is installed and PS3 Media Server works perfectly if I just run it from the terminal by issuing "pms".  Which is why I find it strange that when trying to start the daemon it can't find java.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 

Here is my rc.d script

#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DESC="pms server"
NAME=pms
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pms
DAEMON_ARGS=""
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting pms server..."
    $DAEMON &
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
     else
      add_daemon $NAME
      pidof $NAME > $PIDFILE
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping pms server..."
    if [ -a $PIDFILE ]; then
      PID='cat $PIDFILE'
      kill $PID > /dev/null
      if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
      else
        rm $PIDFILE
        rm_daemon $NAME
        stat_done
      fi
    else
      pkill $NAME
      if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
      else
        stat_done
      fi
    fi
    ;;
  restart|force-reload)
    $0 stop
    sleep 1
    $0 start
    ;;
esac
exit 0

And here is the contents of /usr/bin/pms

#!/bin/sh
PMS_HOME=/opt/pms
cd $PMS_HOME

DIRNAME=`dirname $0`


# OS specific support (must be 'true' or 'false').
cygwin=false;
case "`uname`" in
CYGWIN*)
cygwin=true
;;
esac

# For Cygwin, ensure paths are in UNIX format before anything is touched
if $cygwin ; then
[ -n "$PMS_HOME" ] &&
PMS_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$PMS_HOME"`
[ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ] &&
JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"`
fi

# Setup PMS_HOME
if [ "x$PMS_HOME" = "x" ]; then
    PMS_HOME=`cd $DIRNAME/; pwd`
fi
export PMS_HOME

# Setup the JVM
if [ "x$JAVA" = "x" ]; then
    if [ "x$JAVA_HOME" != "x" ]; then
        JAVA="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
    else
        JAVA="java"
    fi
fi

# Setup the classpath
PMS_JAR="$PMS_HOME/pms.jar"

# For Cygwin, switch paths to Windows format before running java
if $cygwin; then
    PMS_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$PMS_HOME"`
    JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JAVA_HOME"`
    PMS_CLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --windows "$PMS_CLASSPATH"`
fi

# Execute the JVM
exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx768M -Djava.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar "$PMS_JAR" "$@"

Re: rc.d script - daemon won't start

You should add /opt/java/jre/bin to the PATH variable on top of the rc.d script.

Re: rc.d script - daemon won't start

I took this script and touched it up a bit, and now it works quite well.  Posting working script for whoever needs it:


#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin
DESC="pms server"
NAME=pms
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pms
DAEMON_ARGS=""
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting pms server..."
    $DAEMON &
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
     else
      add_daemon $NAME
#      pidof $NAME > $PIDFILE
      sleep 10
      ps fax | grep -i pms.jar | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' > $PIDFILE
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping pms server..."
    if [ -a $PIDFILE ]; then
      PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
      kill $PID > /dev/null
      if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
      else
        rm $PIDFILE
        rm_daemon $NAME
        stat_done
      fi
    else
      pkill $NAME
      if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
      else
        stat_done
      fi
    fi
    ;;
  restart|force-reload)
    $0 stop
    sleep 1
    $0 start
    ;;
esac
exit 0

Actually you only need this because you're using Sun's java, not openjdk.

Re: rc.d script - daemon won't start

When I run sudo /etc/rc.d/pms start it keeps sending messages to the terminal. Any way to get the rc.d/pms to behave as all the other daemons? IE dont show the startup inbetween Starting [BUSY] and starting [DONE] aswell as the
announce afterwards.
