Here is how you run glassfish as a service on CentOS:

1. Create a user glassfish (you can call it anything you want) under which Glassfish will run.

   #useradd glassfish

2. Install glassfish in /home/glassfish.
3. Create the startup script /etc/init.d/glassifsh for glassfish.

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44

   #!/bin/bash # # glassfish: Startup script for Glassfish Application Server. # # chkconfig: 3 80 05 # description: Startup script for domain1 of Glassfish Application Server.   GLASSFISH_HOME=/home/glassfish/glassfish; export GLASSFISH_HOME   GLASSFISH_OWNER=glassfish; export GLASSFISH_OWNER   start() { echo -n "Starting Glassfish: " echo "Starting Glassfish at `date`" >> $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/startup.log su $GLASSFISH_OWNER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1" >> $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/startup.log sleep 2 echo "done" }   stop() { echo -n "Stopping Glassfish: " echo "Stopping Glassfish at `date`" >> $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/startup.log su $GLASSFISH_OWNER -c "$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1" >> $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/logs/startup.log echo "done" }   # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo $"Usage: glassfish {start|stop|restart}" exit esac

4. Install the service

   #chmod +x /etc/init.d/glassfish
   #chkconfig --add glassfish
   #chkconfig --level 3 glassfish on

5. Start glassfish.

   #/etc/init.d/glassfish start
