Preferred method for JBoss shutdown

[jmillet]

Hello all,

I'm an entry level developer working on a project that uses JBoss version 3.2.2. I was wondering what is the preferred method of shutting down JBoss under UNIX. I have looked at the shutdown.sh script that comes with the software, but unfourtunately I'm unable to use it. It requires that JBoss be able to use a network port that I do not have access to. In light of this, what would be reccommended.

A simple CTRL-C in command window which is running JBoss works fine. JBoss intercepts the CTRL-C signal and performs an orderly shutdown. (Note that you could also do a "kill -s SIGINT jboss-process-id" from another command prompt.)

Thank you for the reply. CTRL-C work well when running the application in the foreground, however I have had no luck killing the process when it runs as a daemon with kill -s INT %run.sh_pid%. It seems that the shell script will only respond to kill -9 %run.sh_pid%. If I do kill the run.sh script with a kill -9, I still have to kill the initial java process that was spawned, or they remain running indefinetly. Any suggestions on safe killing of JBoss as a daemon?

It is the java process that you want to send the interrupt to, not the shell script.
