Started two standalone instances, how to stop?

[xerces8]

Using jboss 7.1.1 on CentOS, I started standalone.sh by accident, when it was already running.

./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=localhost:9099 --command=:shutdown

This stops the first instance, since it has bind to that port.

The second instance is inaccessible this way.

I tried to kill -INT the standalone.sh process and also the java process, but nothing happens.

Should I just kill -9 it?

Why does it not react to kill -INT?

The readme says : The JBoss AS7 server can be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C on the command line.

(I can not use ctrl-c directly, as I started JBoss with nohup).

Also, shouldn't it detect that it is already running? Or bail out when it couldn't bind a single tcp port (out of many it tried) ?

Thanks,

David

PS:

I killed standalone.sh, but the actual server process ("java" in ps output) was still running.

Finally, kill -QUIT  or -TERM signaled it to perform a shudown.

(not sure which, because I sent both)

PPS: 15 minutes between posts? Isn't that a bit too much?

If you start two instances, the second one will have a lot of port conflicts but won't terminate (and with nohup, there is nothing to ctrl-break) so the only way to kill it is to send a signal to the process.

-QUIT just causes it to print a Full thread dump to the logs.

-TERM causes what seems to be a regular shutdown (I just took a quick look, might be different from a regular shutdown)
