As most distributions have moved to systemd, here's an example startup script that you may customize for your installation.
This has been tested to work on CentOS 7.
Contents of /etc/systemd/system/freepbx.service
[Unit] Description=FreePBX VoIP Server After=mariadb.service [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/usr/sbin/fwconsole start -q ExecStop=/usr/sbin/fwconsole stop -q [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
From there you can enable it so it starts automatically
Note that on Debian 8.1, you need to use After=mysql.service, not After=mariadb.service.
[[email protected] ~]# systemctl enable freepbx.service ln -s '/etc/systemd/system/freepbx.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/freepbx.service' [[email protected] ~]#
And then start it yourself if you haven't already
[[email protected] ~]# systemctl start freepbx [[email protected] ~]#
You can check the output of the startup with the 'systemctl status' command
[[email protected] ~]# systemctl status -l freepbx.service freepbx.service - FreePBX VoIP Server Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/freepbx.service; enabled) Active: active (exited) since Mon 2015-08-17 09:20:09 AEST; 52s ago Process: 5020 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/fwconsole start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 5020 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Aug 17 09:20:06 firewall.xrobau.com fwconsole[5020]: Running Sysadmin Hooks Aug 17 09:20:06 firewall.xrobau.com fwconsole[5020]: Starting Asterisk...
