Need suggestion on JIRA as a service

[Jonnada Kiran]

Hi All,

We can to run JIRA as a service. We wrote a script and placed in /etc/init.d/JIRA. The owner of that file is root. But, due to company's policy, they want to remove root privileges for our accounts. Is there any way to run JIRA as a service without root privilege ?

Hi Jonnada,

There is a knowledge base article titled Setting Crowd to Run Automatically and Use an Unprivileged System User on UNIX that may help.  While it's written for CROWD, I didn't see anything that looked out of place if you changed the paths to JIRA paths.

Let us know if that helps.

Cheers,

Branden
