Bug#901366: activemq fails to start

[Chris Donoghue]

Package: activemq
Version: 5.15.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

ActiveMQ failed to start. A quick search on the latest release page and I found

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6930

Meaning that ACTIVEMQ_OUT variable is now requred when using bin/activemq start

Currently every start of activemq results in

$ systemctl status activemq
● activemq.service - LSB: ActiveMQ instance
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/activemq; generated)
   Active: active (exited) since Tue 2018-06-12 14:21:44 AEST; 1s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  Process: 25865 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/activemq stop (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 27015 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/activemq start (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)

Jun 12 14:21:44 homerl activemq[27015]: Starting ActiveMQ instance :
activemq main (failed?).
Jun 12 14:21:44 homerl systemd[1]: Started LSB: ActiveMQ instance.




Apending into /usr/share/activemq/activemq-options file the following:

ACTIVEMQ_OUT="/dev/null"

activemq now starts without issue.
