A script to shutdown JBoss, once and for all

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final.  Does anyone have a script that will stop a running JBoss server process, no matter what?  I have tried this

#!/bin/sh

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

but this doesn't always work.  I haven't pin-pointed all the times when it doesn't work, but for example, once my server died with an OutOfMemroy permGen space error, and the above was useless.

So, very grateful for any scripts you have that will stop any running JBoss server. In my installation, I haven't changed any of the default ports, but I have enabled port 8787 for Eclipse debugging.

Thanks, - Dave

If you have issues with GC, OOM Exceptions or use the debugger (and have stopped threads) it might possible that the server will not successful shutdown via management interface.

Maybe I should have been more specific in my question.  Could someone provide a script to shutdown JBoss 7.1.1.FInal?

Thanks, - Dave

You use the correct command to shutdown a server via the CLI.

I recommend to not use some kind of automatic to kill a JBoss instance if it can not be shutdowned gracefully.

This is not a save method and need human intervention.

Unix version save the PID in a file and a "kill -9" will most probably take care of the not-so-graceful shutdown

I guess something similar can be used in Windows, perhaps by using sysinternals tools for checking which process holds a lock to modules jar and calling pskill on that.
