I would follow the documentation to install Spring-Boot application as a Unix/Linux service.

All you have to do is to add this dependency to your pom.xml:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-maven-plugin
    
        true
    

After adding the plugin you should install and create a symlink to your application (exact part of documentation):

Assuming that you have a Spring Boot application installed in /var/myapp, to install a Spring Boot application as an init.d service simply create a symlink:

$ sudo ln -s /var/myapp/myapp.jar /etc/init.d/myapp

Once installed, you can start and stop the service in the usual way. For example, on a Debian based system:

$ service myapp start

Then you are able to create a bash script to start, stop or restart your applications in a clean way.
