Make fully executable applications for Unix systems
A fully executable jar can be executed like any other executable binary or it can be registered with init.d or systemd
Gradle configuration:
bootJar {
launchScript()
}
Installation as a systemd Service
create a script named myapp.service and place it in /etc/systemd/system directory
[Unit] Description=myapp After=syslog.target [Service] User=myapp ExecStart=/var/myapp/myapp.jar SuccessExitStatus=143 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Remember to change the Description, User, and ExecStart fields for your application.
To flag the application to start automatically on system boot, use the following command:
systemctl enable myapp.service
