Jboss 4 solaris Automation question

[svergos]

Hi

I have several productions machines running jboss 4 under solaris and unix ,

I want to be able to some how automate the start of the app server ,

first i want to be able to check periodically(cron ??) if the jboss is running and if not the automatically start the server ,

The i would like to check periodically(cron ??twitch ??) if the web apps are running correctly if not restart the server

finally i would like to monitor the state of the application servers via a gui (nagios ??)

What would you thing is the best strategy ??

With WildFly you can use the domain mode

But if you need to stay with JBoss4 you might write a script which wrap the run.sh script and store the PID of the script or JVM.

In that case you can run a cron script to check whether the JVM is running and start it if not.

As a monitoring tool you might use RHQ, you have another instance which can monitor and manage many JBoss instances
