To configure Solr to start automatically on boot, copy the Solr/solr/bin/init.d/solr to /etc/init.d and either follow the instructions in the script for installing it, or use chkconfig:
chkconfig --add solr
chkconfig --level 345 solr on
To Stop Solr
If you have installed the init.d script, you can stop solr using the appropriate command for your Linux distribution:
[root@localhost ~]# service solr stop
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/solr stop
Sending stop command to Solr running on port 8983 ... waiting up to 180 seconds to allow Jetty process 1359 to stop gracefully.
If you have not installed the init.d script, you can stop solr using the solr command in the bin directory:
[root@localhost ~]# ~solr/Solr/solr/bin/solr stop -all
Sending stop command to Solr running on port 8983 ... waiting up to 180 seconds to allow Jetty process 2027 to stop gracefully.
To Start Solr
If you have installed the init.d script, solr should start automatically on boot. You can also start it manually using the appropriate start command:
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/solr start
[root@localhost ~]# service solr start
