[Q] Auto setup an app in Service Commander?

[ravisankar-PIO]

Hi,
A) Is it possible to setup an application (let's say Jenkins) to start via SC by passing all the answers to the interactive questions as parameters? E.g.,

scinit java -jar ~/jenkins.war --httpPort=9095 <followed by parameters for interactive questions???>

B) If the above method is not possible, then can I create a YAML file manually (of course with correct format) and place it in the ~/.sc/services/ folder such as ~/.sc/services/jenkins.yml and then issue a sc start jenkins?

In other words, What is the ideal way of automating the SCINIT?

Thank you,
Ravi.

@ravisankar-PIO The scinit tool is an interactive proces and not suited for automation.

Instead you should create/build the YAML file and store it in ~/.sc/services (for user services) or in /QOpenSys/etc/sc/services for common services. Then you can run sc start <service>.

HTH.
