How do I configure my Amazon Linux service to auto-restart if it fails?












1














I'm using Amazon Linux. I have a script to start and stop a service, written in bash, located at



/etc/init.d/wildfly


At the various run levels, I have symlinks to ensure the script starts and stops, for instance



/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80wildfly
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S80wildfly


But my question is, what do I need to do to ensure if the service fails, ti can automatically restart? I read on CentOS, you can create a file (e.g. "wildfly.service") with the directives



Restart=always
RestartSec=3


Where do the equivalent directives live on Amazon Linux?

          ok, type in man init



          If it's any fresh you'll see it's systemd in fact. So thus your q-n transforms into something answered already.



          In case you consider systemd over-engineered (as many of us in fact do) you can give a try to venerable daemon-tools or smth alike (runit, supervisord). Be prepared it might be not in standard repos Amazon Linux comes with though.
