The easiest way to start EngageReSS is from the command line. You have to be in the top level EngageReSS-X.X directory to start the daemon:

cd /some/path/to/EngageReSS-0.2
./sbin/engageress

To make this happen automatically when the system boots, use an init.d script like:

#! /bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: 345 99 99
# description: EngageReSS

ENGAGERESS_LOCATION=/home/osgmon/engageress/EngageReSS-0.2
ENGAGERESS_USER=osgmon

case $1 in
'start')
    echo "Starting up EngageReSS"
    su -s /bin/sh $ENGAGERESS_USER \
       -c ". \$HOME/.bash_profile && cd $ENGAGERESS_LOCATION && ./sbin/engageress" &
    ;;

'stop')
    pid=`ps auxww | grep EngageReSS | grep java | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
    if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
        echo "Shutting down EngageReSS"
        kill $pid
    else
        echo "EngageReSS not running"
    fi

    ;;

*)
    echo "Usage: engageress {start|stop}"
    ;;

esac
