3. Create activemq User:
 sudo /usr/sbin/useradd activemq
4. Create activemq STARTUP script/home/activemq/activemqstart. Sh with
Following content:
#!/bin/bashexport JDK_HOME=/opt/java/javaexport JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java/opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/activemq &
 
5. Make/home/activemq/activemqstart. Sh executable:
   sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh
6. Create activemq shutdown script/home/activemq/activemqstop. Sh with

   #!/bin/bash   export JDK_HOME=/opt/java/java   export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/java   /opt/activemq/incubator-activemq-4.0/bin/shutdown
7. Make/home/activemq/activemqstop. Sh executable:
   sudo chmod +x /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh
8. Create activemq Linux service configuration script/etc/init. d/activemq
With the following content:
 
#!/bin/bash## activemq       Starts ActiveMQ.### chkconfig: 345 88 12# description: ActiveMQ is a JMS Messaging Queue Server.### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: $activemq### END INIT INFO# Source function library.. /etc/init.d/functions[ -f /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh ] || exit 0[ -f /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh ] || exit 0RETVAL=0umask 077start() {       echo -n $"Starting ActiveMQ: "       daemon /home/activemq/activemqstart.sh       echo       return $RETVAL}stop() {       echo -n $"Shutting down ActiveMQ: "       daemon su -c /home/activemq/activemqstop.sh activemq       echo       return $RETVAL}restart() {       stop       start}case "$1" in start)       start       ;; stop)       stop       ;; restart|reload)       restart       ;; *)       echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"       exit 1esacexit $?
