## Building This script requires an 'openfire' user/group to exist before running. The recommended UID/GID is 265. You can create these like so: groupadd -g 265 openfire useradd -u 265 -g 265 -c "Openfire Server" -m openfire ## Startup To have this start upon each boot, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local # Start openfire if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.openfire ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.openfire start fi to stop it at shutdown, add a similar entry substituting "start" with "stop" in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown. ## Setup For information about setup see: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-an-openfire-instant-messaging-server-on-centos-5.6 http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/database.html http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/install-guide.html
