Hi @Ralf Thmas ,

my suggestion is to create a service as follow :

* sudo touch /lib/systemd/system/confluence.service
* sudo chmod 664 /lib/systemd/system/confluence.service
* sudo vim /lib/systemd/system/confluence.service

[Unit]
Description=Confluence
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=YOUR_USER (linux user that has access to folders)
PIDFile=YOUR_CONFLUENCE_INST_FOLDER/work/catalina.pid
ExecStart=YOUR_CONFLUENCE_INST_FOLDER//bin/start-confluence.sh
ExecStop=YOUR_CONFLUENCE_INST_FOLDER//bin/stop-confluence.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
* sudo systemctl daemon-reload
* sudo systemctl enable confluence.service

After doing that you can start|stop your service using :

sudo systemctl start|stop confluence

If you reboot your server, that service will automatically restart.

Please let me know if it works.
