Java programs packaged up with Tanuki Software's "Wrapper" software are horribly unreliable when run via init.d scripts. Luckily it's easy to make such a program reliably runnable with runit or daemontools.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

wrapper_conf = "wrapper.conf"

props = ARGF.readlines.reduce(Hash.new) do |info, line|
  info[$1] = $2 if line =~ /^wrapper\.(.+?)\s*=\s*(.*)\s*$/
  info
end

command = [props["java.command"]]

n = 1
while v = props["java.additional.%d" % n]
  command << v
  n += 1
end

if initmem = props["java.initmemory"]
  command << "-Xms" + initmem + "m"
end

if maxmem = props["java.maxmemory"]
  command << "-Xmx" + maxmem + "m"
end

classpath = []
n = 1
while v = props["java.classpath.%d" % n]
  classpath << Dir.glob(v)
  n += 1
end

command << "-classpath" << classpath.flatten.join(":")
n = 1
while v = props["app.parameter.%d" % n]
  command << v
  n += 1
end
