starting server via ssh remote login causes immediate shutdown after clean startup

[mschwery]

I'm using ssh remote login from another box to run our a script that starts our jboss servers.

The server starts up without any problem but then immediately shuts itself down, the only thing in the log shows is that the shutdown hook was called. When I physically log on to the box and run the same command that was called remotely the server does not shut itself down.

I think what is happening is that the session terminates when the command is done running and the server shuts down when the session goes away.

Has anyone used ssh remote login to start a jboss server.

What have you done to keep the server running after the command to start the server was invoked by ssh remote login.

Try using nohup, or better yet set up JBoss AS to run as a service and start it as a service.

How do you get JBoss running as a service.

Which OS?

In general, look in the jboss_home/bin directory at the jboss-init-*.sh files. Use one of them, modified for your environment, as the file that goes into /etc/init.d. Then the exact steps for making the app server start when your machine boots (if you want to do that) differe based on the OS. But googling how to do that for your OS should yield many instructions.
