IBM Sametime Turn Server as a Linux Service

IBM Sametime Turn Server as a Linux Service 

Here is an example of how to start the turn server as a service in Linux

just create a file under /etc/init.d/ called turn 

change the permissions to 755 (chmod 755) 

copy paste the code below and modify your TurnHome Variable to point to where yours is located 

I have a complete server for this application so I am seeting high values for heap dumps but you can change them as needed follow IBM performance recommendations.
