Hi,

I have installed Alfresco Activiti Enterprise on Linux based SUSE SP2 operating system. I start the application as per the start instructions given in the Activiti user guide: <home folder>./start-activiti.sh

This starts Tomcat application server and the H2 database and the application works properly.

I am interested in setting the application up as a service so that the application services can run in the back ground. Any pointers??? Thank you...

Perhaps I am confused as to your question.

You do not install Activiti Enterprise as a service, rather you install Tomcat as a service and add the activiti-app and activiti-admin web applications (war) to the tomcat instance.

Depending on the favour of linux you are using, the procedure to add tomcat as a service is as follows:

Install Tomcat 7 on CentOS, RHEL, or Fedora : David Ghedini
