Crowd wont autostart

tw_633n02

Hello, i hope someone could help me. I was installing Atlassian Jira, confluence, and crowd as non root user to an Ubuntu 18.04 Laptop. When i do a cronjob @reboot jira and confluence starts fine. But crowd would not start with the cronjob. When the system is up and running, i can start crowd in terminal with  ./start_crowd.sh without any problems. The "HowTo" at Confluence Dokumentation did not work for me. When i start the script in Konsole i get the following:

 

wtobais@wtobais-LIFEBOOK-E458:~/atlassian/application-data/atlassian-crowd-3.3.3$ ./start_crowd.sh
To run Crowd in the foreground, start the server with ./start_crowd.sh -fg

Using CATALINA_PID: /home/wtobais/atlassian/application-data/atlassian-crowd-3.3.3/apache-tomcat/work/catalina.pid

The message you have pasted here tells us that Crowd is starting up fine, after cleaning up after a Crowd session that was killed rather than shut down correctly.

If it's not starting on a command that is being run, could you show us the errors that you get from that command, rather than a successful start?

You should not really be running crowd with cron, it should be using systemd or init.d scripts (depending on which your prefer)
