Start license server on reboot (Ubuntu 16.04 server)
How can I start my license server when my server reboots?
I tried cron: `sudo crontab -e`
`@reboot /opt/jetbrains/license-server.sh start`
This runs according to syslog:
Feb 3 11:20:01 hightower CRON[7762]: (root) CMD (sudo /opt/jetbrains/license-server.sh start)
But the server doesn't start. Cecking status:
admin@hightower:~$ sudo /opt/jetbrains/bin/license-server.sh status
JetBrains License Service is shut down
Is there an error log somewhere I can check for this? syslog shows nothing about it.
I also tried running it every 5 minutes (in case the @reboot failed because there was no network/internet connection established yet in the reboot sequece) but this doesn't work either.
The command successfully starts the server if I run it manually.

Hi!
For logs try checking logs folder in license server home folder.
In general if you need some service to be run on system startup you should use init scripts, not cron.
Try following instructions from this link:

Thank you!
I've almost got it working... I'm running into this error:
systemd[1]: jetbrains-license-server.service: PID file /opt/jetbrains-license-server/logs/license-server.pid not readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
Where is the .pid file?
I created the file and gave ownership to `jetbrains`, but no luck:
Failed to read PID from file /opt/jetbrains-license-server/logs/license-server.pid: Invalid argument
Please check that ownership for folder and all subfolders are set to jetbrains user, also please check that jetbrains user has rights to write into the folders. there is no need to create a file it should be created and removed automatically.
Permissions seem fine right?

Working! There was a typo in one of the paths....
