B4J Question RaspBerry: Start program as service (non-ui) = normal program?

[KMatle]

I will get my RB today, so I'm curious: I took a look how to autostart a program on a RaspBerry an found an article how to start it as a Service with this script.

Q: Is it a "real" Service like in B4A (-> Need Special coding) or is it just a non-ui program called "service" then? (so no special coding is needed)

sudo nano /etc/init.d/skeleton

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          MyProgram
# Required-Start:   
# Required-Stop:    
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: 
# Description:       
### END INIT INFO
# Actions
case "$1" in
    start)
        # START
        ;;
    stop)
        # STOP
        ;;
    restart)
        # RESTART
        ;;
esac
exit 0

B4J non-ui apps are regular console apps. You don't need to do anything special to run them. Just call java -jar <your jar file>.

Of course I can start it

I took a look how to autostart a program on a RaspBerry...

I need my program to be started at boot and to be closed when the RB shuts down. What is the correct way? Starting it as a "service" seems to handle that.

Anyone of the methods suggested here should work: http://raspberrywebserver.com/serveradmin/run-a-script-on-start-up.html

If the distro running on the Pi is systemd based, check this out: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...automatically-starting-at-boot.85739/#content
