How to register

Add a script file to the /etc/init.d directory, such as /etc/init.d/eclipse-che. Then add execute permission with chmod 755 eclipse-che. 

if [[ $(which java) == "" ]]; then
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk/
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
fi

CHE_HOME=/usr/local/eclipse-che
CHE_BIN=$CHE_HOME/bin/che.sh

# See how we were called
case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "Start eclipse-che."
        $CHE_BIN start
        ;;

    stop)
        echo "Stop eclipse-che."
        $CHE_BIN stop
        ;;

    restart)
        echo "Restart eclipse-che."
        $CHE_BIN start
        $CHE_BIN stop
        ;;

    *)
        echo  "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0
