Excerpt

The database.zip file has the following structure:

Note the files in the database-connector-2.5.0 x directory that are used to manage the Database Connector as services on *nix and Windows operating systems: These files should be run as an administrator.

Install-Service.bat - installs the Database Connector on a Windows system as a service named frevvo Database Connector.
Uninstall-service.bat - uninstalls the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system
Start-DB Connector-Service.bat - starts the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system
Start-DBConnector.sh - starts the frevvo Database Connector as a *nix console instance.
Restart-DBConnector-Service.bat - restarts the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system
Restart-DBConnector.sh - restarts the frevvo Database Connector as a *nix console instance.
Stop-DBConnector-Service.bat - stops the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system.
Stop-DbConnector.sh - stops the frevvo Database Connector *nix console instance.

There is another option for Linux systems. The Database Connector can also run as a service using systemd

Systemd is the successor of the System V init system, and is now being used by many modern Linux distributions. Although you can continue to use init.d scripts with systemd, it is also possible to launch Spring Boot applications using systemd ‘service’ scripts.Copy the sample service file located in /bin/dbconnector.service to /etc/systemd/system, review it's contents and make sure it is executable.You can now use systemd to manager the dbconnector service:

systemctl start dbconnector.service
systemctl stop dbconnector.service
systemctl restart dbconnector.service
systemctl status dbconnector.service

To flag the service to start automatically on system boot use the following command:

Code Block
systemctl enable dbconnector.service

Consult the service unit configuration man page for more details. Remember to change the User if you plan to run it as a different user name.
