Configure Headless operation

It’s recommended to start the Azureus GUI once and configure the settings and web interface. Once done, you can look at starting it headless.
Test that it runs:
Taken from Vuze Wiki

cd /home/rob/vuze
ln -s /usr/share/java/commons-cli.jar commons-cli.jar
ln -s /usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar log4j.jar
java -jar Azureus2.jar --ui=console

This should start up and you can control Azureus from the in-built menu\\
Next is to create the daemon script in the Azureus directory:\\

cd /home/rob/vuze
touch azureusd
chmod +x azureusd
vi azureusd

#!/bin/bash
#
# Azureus Daemon
#
nohup java -jar Azureus2.jar --ui=console >/dev/null 2>&1

Now we need to create the startup script

sudo touch /etc/init.d/azureus
sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/azureus
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/azureus
ln -s /etc/init.d/azureus /etc/rc5.d/S99azureus
ln -s /etc/init.d/azureus /etc/rc5.d/K01azureus
sudo vi /etc/init.d/azureus

#!/bin/bash
