daemontools setup scripts for GemStone/S on Ubuntu or other Debian systems

Prerequisites

• Install and set up GemStone/S 2.4.4.1 or later
• Install daemontools (sudo apt-get install daemontools daemontools-run svtools) Note: It's OK to install daemontools after running the setup, but /etc/init.d/topaz and /etc/init.d/statmon won't work until you do.

Running the setup scripts

Make sure that the config file in this directory is appropriate for your setup. Make sure you have root access so the setup can execute properly. Then execute: sudo bash ./setupAll.sh

It is recommended that you follow the gsDevKitHome intallation instructions to install GemStone on your system.

There are some utility scripts not run by setupAll.sh that can be useful when testing. Even though they prompt you before executing, you should read them and understand what they do before using them -- particularly any 'destroy_' scripts.

Setting up your user account

The scripts in bin/ that start and stop GemStone use sudo. You may find it convenient to setup your sudoers file so you don't have to supply a password to run them. There is an example sudoers file in etc/. Add the appropriate lines to your system sudoers file using "visudo".

You should add the daemontools control scripts to your path by adding the following line to your .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:~/GemStone_daemontools_setup/bin
