sudo: start: command not found

[Mark C_ Duncan]

Deploying Bamboo as a service on AWS Linux 2 instance using Terraform with remote-exec provisioner.  The start and stop command cannot be found.

Code snippet:

      "sudo touch bamboo.service",

      "echo '[Unit]' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'Description=Atlassian Bamboo Agent' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'After=syslog.target network.target' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo ' ' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo '[Service]' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'Type=forking' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'User=bamboo-agent' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'Group=bamboo-agent' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      /*"echo 'Environment=CATALINA_PID=/bamboo-install/atlassian-bamboo-9.6.2/atlassian-bamboo/bin/Catalina.pid' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'PIDFile=/bamboo-install/atlassian/bamboo/bin/Catalina.pid' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",*/

      "echo 'ExecStart=/root/ec2-user/bamboo-install/atlassian-bamboo-9.6.2/bin/start-bamboo.sh start sysd' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'ExecStop=//root/ec2-user/bamboo-install/atlassian-bamboo-9.6.2/bin/stop-bamboo.sh stop sysd' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'KillMode=control-group' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'Environment=SYSTEMD_KILLMODE_WARNING=true' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'SuccessExitStatus=143' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo ' ' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo '[Install]' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "echo 'WantedBy=multi-user.target' | sudo tee -a bamboo.service",

      "sudo mv bamboo.service /etc/systemd/system/",

      "sudo systemctl daemon-reload",

      "sudo start bamboo",

Also may be related that when installing the agent software, the following error is displayed:

null_resource.name (remote-exec): Installing file: /generic/bin/bamboo-agent.sh to: /root/bamboo-agent-home/bin/bamboo-agent.sh
null_resource.name (remote-exec): Installing file: /root/bamboo-agent-home/conf/wrapper.conf
null_resource.name (remote-exec): Installing file: /generic/lib/bamboo-agent-bootstrap-jar-with-dependencies.jar to: /root/bamboo-agent-home/lib/bamboo-agent-bootstrap.jar
null_resource.name (remote-exec): Unzipping /classpath.zip to /root/bamboo-agent-home/classpath
null_resource.name (remote-exec): Could not find source file /classpath.zip
null_resource.name (remote-exec): Agent installed

Any suggestions are appreciated.  New to Linux and Bamboo.

Thanks!

Hello @Mark C_ Duncan 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Based on your description, there are a couple of key issues that need to be addressed to get your Bamboo agent running as a service on AWS Linux 2 instance using Terraform with the remote-exec provisioner.

• Fixing the Systemd Service File and Start/Stop Commands: It looks like there's a typo in your ExecStop command (an extra slash at the beginning), and your ExecStart and ExecStop paths seem to be incorrect. You've mixed /root/ with ec2-user/ in the paths, which are typically home directories for different users on a Linux system. By default, ec2-user is the default user on AWS Linux instances, not root, so if you've installed Bamboo in the ec2-user's home directory, ensure the paths are correct. Assuming Bamboo is installed in the ec2-user home directory, update the paths accordingly. It should look like below:
  • "echo 'ExecStart=/home/ec2-user/bamboo-install/atlassian-bamboo-9.6.2/bin/start-bamboo.sh start sysd' | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system/bamboo.service"
  • "echo 'ExecStop=/home/ec2-user/bamboo-install/atlassian-bamboo-9.6.
• Additionally, the command to start the service should be sudo systemctl start bamboo, not sudo start bamboo. It should look like below:
  • "sudo systemctl enable bamboo",
  • "sudo systemctl start bamboo",

To resolve the "Could not find source file /classpath.zip" issue, you'll need to ensure that classpath.zip is indeed available and in the correct location expected by your installation script.

Hope it helps!
