OrientDB failing to start on Ubuntu 16.04 with systemd

[austinsmorris]

OrientDB Version, operating system, or hardware.

• I last tried this with 2.2.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 on an AWS EC2 t2.medium instance.

Operating System

• Linux
• MacOSX
• Windows
• Other Unix
• Other, name?

Expected behavior and actual behavior

When starting orientdb, it should keep running.

Ubuntu 16.04 is the first LTS since Ubuntu switched from upstart to systemd. I followed the documentation to setup systemd, but it doesn't work well. When I start, orientdb startup up, but according to the logs, systemd or something immediately issues the stop command, so the service stops.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Follow the current orientdb documentation for running on ubuntu with systemd.

Thanks!

hi @austinsmorris,

I think that the orientdb.sh script was thought for SystemV use and SystemD behave in a different way, i'll check what's going on and i'll try to understand why it block

Hi, I just pushed on develop branch an orientdb.service file and a new orientdb-sysd.sh script to be used by the service definition. I will update the doc. In the meanwhile you can take this files

Thanks Roberto, these new files work for me (OpenSuse Leap 42.1 + OrientDB 2.2.7).
