Is there a way to delay Jira/Confluence service startup in CentOS?

[Jamie Francis]

For some reason Jira throws a bunch of errors if it starts straight away on OS boot. I want to delay it by a minute or so. Is this possible?

Hi @Jamie Francis, 

you could simply add a line to instruct the init script to wait for 60 seconds:

sleep 60;

You could also change the order of your init scripts as described in this documentation.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Thanks! I will give that a try

Yes. Probably by few methods (depends if apps are installed as aa service or not). One of them is to create a startup script for your apps and put on the beginning

sleep 60

and execute it from rc.local that should delay by a minute.
