Publicly available scripts for on-premise hosted Looker customer startup. See the public documentation for startup options.

• looker: Startup script for looker running under Java 1.8. Should be in the /home/looker/looker directory with the looker.jar file, and it should be named looker. The full path to the file will commonly be /home/looker/looker/looker. Use this script for all current versions of Looker.
• looker11: Startup script for looker running with OpenJDK11. Should be in the /home/looker/looker directory with the looker.jar file, and it should be named looker. The full path to the file will commonly be /home/looker/looker/looker. Several things depend on this script being renamed from looker11->looker, so make sure to do this.
• looker_init: Ubuntu init file to start Looker automatically on boot. This may need some customization depending on user/directory for Looker. This will also need to be modified to work with RedHat-based Linux distributions.
• looker_mac: A version of the startup script customized for OSX. May require customization.
• monitrc: Very basic sample monitrc to manage the Looker process.

16.04 LTS and later use systemd to manage services. Please follow the instructions in systemd.
