Shutdown of JBoss AS 7

[igusev]

Hello!

Is there a possibility to shutdown the JBoss AS 7 from a command line?

For instance, specify some arguments to standalone.bat/sh or domain.bat/sh?

Thanks in advance

[jaikiran]

I just added a "Stopping a running instance of standalone server" section to the JBoss AS7 user guide http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7UserGuide. Give it a try.

The "Stopping a running instance of standalone server" section of the JBoss AS7 user guide seems to be out of date for 7.1. 

Apparently, someone requested that the jboss-admin.sh script be renamed jboss-cli.sh (or .bat on Windows). 

See: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2310

So, just to prevent the next person from having to chase the same rabbit, the command to shut down JBoss AS 7.1, running as a daemon / service is:

{JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

I am confused by the shutdown command because shutdown is not in the command list (I see undeploy but that does not effectuate a shutdown of the instance).

I also always get an error saying that it is not possible to connect to localhost:9999

I tried to use the real IP address in the standalone-full.xml but that has no effect.

After this error I am inside the shell as "not connected" but when I type "connect" I am connected.

I am running automatic robotised tests and one important part of the test is to shutdown a standalone instance and to start a new one.

That happens in the middle of the night.

The effect is the same using CentOS Linux and Windows XP

It will be not a direct command of the cli, it is a statement for the server (notice the ':' ) :shutdown

If you type a ':' in the cli and then use the tab completion it will be displayed.

Maybe your command is wrong or interpreted by the shell.

For me

bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --command=:shutdown

bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect :shutdown

work

I tried all 3 commands from the command line both on a CentOS Linux server and on WIndows XP

The example below is from Linux (I am obviously doing something stupid but I don't know what it is)

This is the result:

[jboss@localhost bin]$ ./jboss-cli.sh --connect --command=:shutdown

The controller is not available at localhost:9999

You are disconnected at the moment. Type 'connect' to connect to the server or '                                                                             help' for the list of supported commands.

[jboss@localhost bin]$ ./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

The controller is not available at localhost:9999

You are disconnected at the moment. Type 'connect' to connect to the server or '                                                                             help' for the list of supported commands.

[jboss@localhost bin]$ ./jboss-cli.sh --connect :shutdown

What version of AS7 do you use? Which mode and how you configured the interfaces and ports?

[johanvermeij]

I use jboss-as-7.1.0.Final

I run in standalone mode

I will attach standalone-full.xml

[emuckenhuber]

You would need to connect to the correct address adding something like: "--controller=192.168.2.2:9999" to the cmd argument.

Thank you und vielen dank auch

The --controller bit did the trick

[mciancaz]

Gracias, me faltaba especificar el controller

I updated my services.bat to the following.  This is for JBOSS 7.1.1, using the standalone.bat and jboss-cli to start, restart and shutdown the service.

This is very similar to previous posts, however other posts were relaying on 'run.bat' which appears to be deprecated.  It also relied on a shutdown.bat that no longer existed in the bin folder.
