Thanks, Charlie!  This looks like what I need.  Gonna try it soon.

Hi, ok, reporting back with success.

Looking further into the comments section of the link you provided, it appears adding a line at the beginning to change to my program directory solved the issue with propagating the files into the /etc/init.d:

 cd /opt/ubooquity

Apparently the author's java file contained a line:

System.setProperty("user.dir", args[0]); 

to enable the setting of the working directory upon its launch.

Looking good so far!  Thanks for the help!

Hi Tom,

I've been playing around with the scripts and have found that even when declaring the fully qualified path to the install directory containing the Ubooqity.jar file, it appears to ignore it and creates the logs, cache, theme directories and the rest of the files in the path from which the script is being called.

This becomes a problem in having a script call the Ubooquity.jar command from the /etc/init.d directory where the startup scripts are located.  It recreates a new instance of the Ubooquity files within the /etc/init.d directory which will cause problems shutting down and starting up the system (not to mention propagating the application into a path where it does not belong).

I'm not sure if it is by design that the jar file will populate its required files structure to the path from which the script is run (it does make for a quick and easy install) or if there is some other parameter to pass along to it within the script to point to an absolute path where the expected files are to (and may already) reside.

Thanks for your help!
Jim

Beautiful!  Thanks, Tom.  Great stuff.

Hi Tom!

I will give it a shot and report with what I find.

Thanks again!
Jim

Hi Tom,

When I access it from Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 on Windows 7 64-bit or Chrome Version 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit) on Unbuntu 14.04 64-bit (localhost for the server, too) the arrow keys do not work to turn pages (but will work for scrolling through large images up and down and left and right).

Firefox v32.0 on the same ubuntu box works perfectly with the left and right arrow keys flipping pages.

I hope this helps!
