You want to start the service. Try:

/etc/init.d/openfire start

That should start Openfire correctly as a background service, not tied to your login.

Hi,

What is the openfire**.sh** file? I have only openfire (without .sh). Is this your custom file? I installed OpenFire from .tar.gz distribution.

Anyway you can try /opt/openfire/bin/openfire.sh & to launch your openfire.sh script in background.

Best regards

Hi!

there is no .sh file in tar.gz package. I have a lot of Java SDKs on my Linux boxes (1.4, 1.5, 6.0) thus I’ve never downloaded any packages with JRE inside.

Anyway its interesting for me: how is your OpenFire now ?

Regards

Sergey
