# This function checks if the application is running

  # -C : specifies the command name
  # -o : determines how columns must be displayed
  # h : hides the data header
  s=`ps -C 'java -jar /path/to/application.jar' -o pid h`

  # If somethig was returned by the ps command, this function returns the PID
  if [ $s ] ; then
    return $s
  fi

  # In any another case, return 0
  return 0

}

# Starts the application

  # At first checks if the application is already started calling the check_status
  # function
  check_status

  # $? is a special variable that hold the "exit status of the most recently executed
  # foreground pipeline"
  pid=$?

  if [ $pid -ne 0 ] ; then

  # Redirects default and error output to a log file
  java -jar /path/to/application.jar >> /path/to/logfile 2>&1 &
