Starting Schedoscope

Schedoscope operates as a REST web service. There are three ways of launching this service.

Launching without Command Shell

The simplest way of launching the Schedoscope web service is by executing org.schedoscope.scheduler.rest.server.SchedoscopeRestService's main method. After launch, the service expects [scheduling commands](Command Reference) via the [REST API](Schedoscope REST API). The [Schedoscope REST Client](Command Reference) can be used to issue these.

The Schedoscope web service needs a logback configuration file and a Schedoscope configuration file. These can be passed using the system properties -Dlogback.configurationFile and -Dconfig.file.

Example:

java -cp ${CP} -Dlogback.configurationFile=logback.xml -Dconfig.file=schedoscope.conf org.schedoscope.scheduler.rest.server.SchedoscopeRestService 

Launching with Command Shell

The Schedoscope web service can also be launched in such a way that it opens up a command shell on the console in addition to exposing the HTTP API. This shell allows for the comfortable issuing of [scheduling commands](Command Reference) and features a command history.

Opening the shell triggered by passing the --shell parameter.

Example:

java -cp ${CP} -Dlogback.configurationFile=logback.xml -Dconfig.file=schedoscope.conf org.schedoscope.scheduler.rest.server.SchedoscopeRestService --shell

Launching as a Daemon

The Schedoscope web service can also be started as a daemon using jsvc and Apache Commons Daemon.

Example:

jsvc -cp ${CP} -Dlogback.configurationFile=logback.xml -Dconfig.file=schedoscope.conf  org.schedoscope.scheduler.daemon.SchedoscopeDaemon
