I wrote a bit better init.d script for Jira for Redhat/CentOS

The first thing you want to do is create a sysconfig file. Below is the filename

/etc/sysconfig/jira

The file has the following contents in it

#
# The user Jira runs as
#
JIRA_USER=jira

#
# The home directory of Jira
#
JIRA_HOME=/opt/jira/current

Now create the init.d script

/etc/init.d/jira

It has the following contents in it.

#!/bin/sh
#
# JIRA startup script
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 05
# description: JIRA

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/jira ]; then
    . /etc/sysconfig/jira
fi

prog=jira
RETVAL=0

start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        /bin/su -m $JIRA_USER -c "cd $JIRA_HOME/logs && $JIRA_HOME/bin/startup.sh &> /dev/null"
        RETVAL=$?
        if [ $RETVAL = 0 ]
        then
                echo $! > /var/run/jira.pid
                echo_success
        else
                echo_failure
        fi

        echo

        return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
        echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
        /bin/su -m $JIRA_USER -c "$JIRA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh &> /dev/null"
        RETVAL=$?
        if [ $RETVAL = 0 ]
        then
                rm -f /var/run/jira.pid
                echo_success
        else
                echo_failure
        fi
        echo

        return $RETVAL
}

case "$1" in
        start)
                start
                ;;
        stop)
                stop
                ;;
        restart)
                stop
                sleep 5
                start
                ;;
        *)
                echo $"Usage: /etc/init.d/$prog {start|restart|stop}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit $RETVAL

Now make permissions correct

                echo $"Usage: /etc/init.d/$prog {start|restart|stop}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit $RETVAL

Now make permissions correct

Now you can chkconfig it

chkconfig jira on

This will make it look a bit more Redhat/CentOS like.
