Configure ActiveMQ to run as daemon

Before you begin

For more instructions about the shell script, refer to the documentation available at http://activemq.apache.org/unix-shell-script.html.

Procedure

Go into the directory /opt/talend/activemq.
```
cd /opt/talend/activemq
```
Create a link current to the Apache installation.
```
ln -snf apache-activemq-5.14.0 current
```

Create a global default configuration and edit the configuration.

sudo cp apache-activemq-5.14.0/bin/env /etc/default/activemq
sudo sed -i '~s/^ACTIVEMQ_USER=""/ACTIVEMQ_USER="ec2-user"/' /etc/default/activemq
sudo chmod 644 /etc/default/activemq

Install the init script.

sudo ln -snf  /opt/talend/activemq/current/bin/activemq /etc/init.d/activemq

Activate the init script at the system startup.

sudo chkconfig --add activemq
sudo chkconfig activemq on
sudo chkconfig –list

Check that your activemq is fully setup and configured to start at boot instance:
- Reboot your EC2 instance
  - You can do that from AWS console or directly within your ssh session with the command sudo reboot.
  - Note that this will terminate your ssh session.
- Wait a few minutes for your instance to reboot.
- Use putty to ssh again into your instance.
