Systemd Unit file for Handle Service used by DSpace

handle.service

# Systemd Unit file for Handle Service used by DSpace
#
# On hosts that use systemd, like RHEL7, this can be used to auto-start
# the handle service and provide the familiar "servicectl start|status|stop"
# commands for controlling execution.
#
# To install:
#
# 1) As dspace:
#      REQUIRED:
#      - Rename dspace/bin/start-handle-server to run-handle-server,
#        and remove "nohup" and the trailing ampersand from the last line.
#      OPTIONAL:
#      - Create start-handle-server, with the following lines, not indented:
#          #!/bin/sh
#          sudo systemctl start handle
#        ..and make sure it's executable (e.g. chmod 755 start-handle-server)
# 2) As root:
#      REQUIRED:
#      - Copy this file into /etc/systemd/system and change the path for
#        ExecStart's value as appropriate.
#      - Run the following to install and make it start at system startup:
#        systemctl daemon-reload
#        systemctl enable handle
#      OPTIONAL:
#      - Modify /etc/sudoers (using visudo) to allow the dspace user
#        to run "sudo systemctl start|stop|status handle" with no password:
#          dspace ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start handle
#          dspace ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop handle
#          dspace ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl status handle
