I am trying to have the jenkins java application run at startup, run as the jenkins user. I have a upstart conf file located at /etc/init/jenkins.conf with the following inside it.
description "Jenkins daemon"
start on startup
stop on shutdown
task
setuid jenkins
setgid jenkins
java -jar /usr/local/lib/jenkins/jenkins.war
Running service jenkins start just hangs. I have tried numerous combinations of upstart internals but cannot find a collection that works, it hangs every time. Is there any error reporting anywhere that I can look at to see what is going wrong? Logged in as the jenkins user I can start the application with that java command.
