Launcher Wizard: Unix Options

  In this step of the launcher wizard, you can configure an optional settings for Unix launchers.

Note: this advanced option screen is reachable by selecting the "Executable" step and choosing "Unix options" from the Advanced options popup menu or by clicking directly on the index.

  In the "Executable options" section, you can change the default Unix mode for launchers. By default, the Unix mode is set to 755, allowing everyone to execute the launcher, but only the owner to delete it.

For RPM and DEB Linux archives, service executables are enabled and started automatically if systemd is present. You can deactivate this behavior in this section. In that case, only the link in /etc/init.d will be created and you can enable the service manually.

  In the "Custom script fragment" section, you can configure an optional script that is executed before the Java invocation.

If you specify a Bourne shell custom script, the entered script fragment will be inserted into the launcher script immediately before the Java invocation of your launcher takes place. This is a hook for experienced users to make custom changes in the environment.

You can select one of:

  • No custom fragment
    No custom script fragment will be inserted.
  • Custom fragment from file
    Specify a file from which the custom script will be read. If you enter a relative file, the file will be interpreted relative to the project file.
  • Direct entry
    Enter your custom script fragment in the text area below.
