Yep, java has to be started in the background. Here's what I ended up with. It works correctly on RHEL and Cygwin.

while [ 1 ]; do
 # Execute the JVM.
 "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS \
 -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JBOSS_ENDORSED_DIRS" \
 -classpath "$JBOSS_CLASSPATH" \
 org.jboss.Main "$@" &
 JBOSS_PID=$!
 echo "JBOSS_PID: $JBOSS_PID"
 # Trap common signals and relay them to the JBoss process.
 trap "echo Received SIGHUP. ; kill -HUP $JBOSS_PID" HUP
 trap "echo Received SIGINT. ; kill -TERM $JBOSS_PID" INT
 trap "echo Received SIGQUIT.; kill -QUIT $JBOSS_PID" QUIT
 trap "echo Received SIGPIPE.; kill -PIPE $JBOSS_PID" PIPE
 trap "echo Received SIGTERM.; kill -TERM $JBOSS_PID" TERM
 WAIT_STATUS=0
 while [ "$WAIT_STATUS" -ne 127 ]; do
 JBOSS_STATUS=$WAIT_STATUS
 wait $JBOSS_PID 2>/dev/null
 WAIT_STATUS=$?
 done
 if [ $JBOSS_STATUS -eq 10 ]; then
 echo Restarting JBossAS...
 else
 exit $JBOSS_STATUS
 fi
 # If restart doesn't work, see this if you're running JBossAS 4.0.4 or earlier:
 # http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2483
 # or this if you're running Red Hat 7.0:
 # http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4465334.html
done

So if I want to run this in background, what should execute in the console?

./run.sh -c default -Djboss.bind.address=123.123.1.1

export LAUNCH_JBOSS_IN_BACKGROUND=1
run.sh whatever-flags-you-want &

Thanks dimitris, I will give it a try.

I've added a new section on the run.sh JBoss Wiki page documenting the background launch option.

@ips, very good, thanks.
