How can I have my bash script stop Jira?

MP32

I'm trying to have a bash script stop jira, but I'm getting errors no matter which way I try. I'm trying to run sudo /opt/atlassian/jira/bin/stop-jira.sh or sudo /opt/atlassian/jira/bin/shutdown.sh and get this error:

PID file found but either no matching process was found or the current user does not have permission to stop the process. Stop aborted.

I switched to the root user which is what Jira runs as and I don't have any issues starting Jira with a bash script or running the equivalent commands to start it, but why does it not work when trying to stop Jira? How would I do this in a bash script?

Hi @MP32

You should run Confluence as a service using a user different than root. Using a service will allow you to stop Confluence using service confluence stop.

You can also kill the process directly by searching the pid using ps -edf | grep confluence then kill -9 PID where PID is the PID returned by the previous command.

I was hoping to do this with a bash script, is it normal set it as a service and add that service.config file as part of a bash script? I've actually never done that before, so I'm not sure if it's common or not

You do not need to update the bash script, using JIRA as a service is the most common implementation.

The other way is as describe, using the ps and kill command, but it's not the rocommanded one.

I followed the doc for setting JIRA as a service and I'm running into some errors when trying to start JIRA. When I run journalctl -xe to view the errors I get:

- touch: cannot touch '/opt/atlassian/jira/logs/catalina.out': Permission denied

- opt/atlassian/jira/bin/catalina.sh: line 516: /opt/atlassian/jira/logs/catalina.out: Permission denied

- Tomcat started.

- Failed to parse PID from file /opt/atlassian/jira/work/catalina.pid: Invalid argument

- Failed to start Jira.
