Starting

*NIX

Run the following script from a command shell to start the distribution and open a local console

DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf

Windows

Run the following script from a console window to start the distribution and open a local console

DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf.bat

Stopping

There are two options:

Calling shutdown from the console
Shuts down with a prompt
```
ddf@local>shutdown
```
Force Shutdown without prompt
```
ddf@local>shutdown -f 
```
Running the stop script
*NIX
```
DDF_INSTALL/bin/stop
```
Windows
```
DDF_INSTALL/bin/stop.bat
```
Shutdown

Do not shutdown by closing the window (Windows, Unix) or using the kill -9 <pid> command (Unix). This prevents a clean shutdown and can cause significant problems when DDF is restarted. Always use the shutdown command or the Ctrl-D keystroke (Windows) from the command line console.

Automatic Start on System Boot

Because DDF is built on top of Apache Karaf, DDF can use the Karaf Wrapper to enable automatic startup and shutdown.

Create the Karaf wrapper

Within the DDF console

ddf@local> features:install wrapper
ddf@local> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n ddf -d ddf -D "DDF Service"

(Windows users skip to next step) (All *NIX) If DDF was installed to run as a non-root user (recommended) edit DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service
Change:
DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service
```
#RUN_AS_USER=
```
to:
DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service
```
RUN_AS_USER=<ddf-user>
```

Set the memory in the wrapper config to match with DDF default memory setting

a) Add the setting for PermGen space under the JVM Parameters section

b) Update Heap space to 2048

DDF_INSTALL/etc/ddf-wrapper.conf

#Add the following:
wrapper.java.additional.9=-XX:PermSize=128m
wrapper.java.additional.10=-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
wrapper.java.additional.11=-Dderby.system.home="..\data\derby"  
wrapper.java.additional.12=-Dderby.storage.fileSyncTransactionLog=true 
wrapper.java.additional.13=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote 
wrapper.java.additional.14=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 
wrapper.java.additional.15=-Dddf.home=%DDF_HOME%
   
#Update the following:
wrapper.java.maxmemory=2048

Set DDF_HOME property
DDF_INSTALL/etc/ddf-wrapper.conf
```
set.default.DDF_HOME="%KARAF_HOME%"
```
Install the wrapper startup/shutdown scripts
Windows
Run the following command in a console window. The command must be run with elevated permissions
```
DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service.bat install
```
Startup and Shutdown settings can then be managed through the Services MMC Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Redhat
```
root@localhost# ln -s DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service /etc/init.d/
root@localhost# chkconfig ddf-service --add
root@localhost# chkconfig ddf-service on
```
Ubuntu
```
root@localhost# ln -s DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service /etc/init.d/
root@localhost# update-rc.d -f ddf-service defaults
```
Solaris
```
root@localhost# ln -s DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service /etc/init.d/
root@localhost# ln -s /etc/init.d/ddf-service /etc/rc0.d/K20ddf-service
root@localhost# ln -s /etc/init.d/ddf-service /etc/rc1.d/K20ddf-service
root@localhost# ln -s /etc/init.d/ddf-service /etc/rc2.d/K20ddf-service
root@localhost# ln -s /etc/init.d/ddf-service /etc/rc3.d/S20ddf-service
```
While not necessary, information on how to convert the System V init scripts to the Solaris System Management Facility can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/scripts-to-smf-1641705.html
Solaris specific modification

Due to a slight difference between the Linux and Solaris implementation of the "ps" command, the ddf-service script needs to be modified

1. Locate the following line in DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service
  Solaris DDF_INSTALL/bin/ddf-service
```
pidtest=`$PSEXE -p $pid -o command | grep $WRAPPER_CMD | tail -1`
```
2. And modify it by truncating the word "command" to "comm"
  Solaris DDF_Install/bin/ddf-service
```
pidtest=`$PSEXE -p $pid -o comm | grep $WRAPPER_CMD | tail -1`
```

Karaf Documentation

Because DDF is built on Apache Karaf, more information on operating DDF can be found in the Karaf documentation at http://karaf.apache.org/index/documentation.html .

Troubleshooting

Exception Starting DDF

Problem: Following exception is thrown starting DDF on a Windows machine (x86)

Using an unsupported terminal: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.fusesource.jansi.internal.Kernel32

Solution: Install missing Windows libraries.

Some Windows platforms are missing libraries needed by DDF. These libraries are provided by the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package x64.
