～～～～～～～～～～

Is this the cause of this case???

We fixed related code with suggestion from http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t130884-process-runtime-exec-causes-subprocess-hang.html

I'll post related testing result here before long.

[ybxiang]: OK, leave it black.

You are right.

Now, I ask guys to fix all  java.lang.Runtime.exec(...) with bellow format.

I'll post my result here after retest it. The application will be run about 4.5 days.

====================[how to run java.lang.Runtime.exec(...)]======================
import java.io.*;

public  class GVUStreamGobbler implements Runnable {
    private Thread  thread;   
    private String name;
    private InputStream  is;   
    private String result;

    public  GVUStreamGobbler(String name, InputStream is) {
        this.name =  name;
        this.is = is;
    }

    public void  start() {
        thread = new Thread(this);
         thread.start();
    }

    public void run() {
         StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        try {
             InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
             BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            while (true)  {
                String s = br.readLine();
                if (s  == null){
                    break;
                }
                 //
                sb.append(s).append("\n");
            }
             is.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
             ex.printStackTrace();
             sb.append("Exception:").append(ex.toString());
        }
         this.result = sb.toString();
    }

    public String  getResult() {
        return result;
    }
}

public  class GVUShellTimerExecutor implements ...{

...
    public  static String execute(String command, String[] envp, String  workingDirectory)throws Exception{
        String returnResult =  null;   
       
                   
        Process process  = null;
        if(workingDirectory==null){
            process =  Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command, envp,null);
        }else{
             process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command, envp,new  File(workingDirectory));
        }
        GVUStreamGobbler  inputStreamReader = new  GVUStreamGobbler("InputStreamReader",process.getInputStream());
         GVUStreamGobbler errorStreamReader = new  GVUStreamGobbler("ErrorStreamReader",process.getErrorStream());
         inputStreamReader.start();
        errorStreamReader.start();
         //
        try {         
              process.waitFor();            
        } catch (InterruptedException  e) {
            log.error("shellTimer wait for command execution  exception:",e);
        }finally{
            process.destroy();
         }
        //
        String inputStreamReader_result =  inputStreamReader.getResult();
        String  errorStreamReader_result = errorStreamReader.getResult();
         if(inputStreamReader_result!=null &&  inputStreamReader_result.trim().length()>0){
             returnResult = inputStreamReader_result;
        }else  if(errorStreamReader_result!=null){
            returnResult =  errorStreamReader_result;
        }else{
            returnResult =  "";
        }

        //returnResult MUST be the  true output of the command. Do NOT append anything to it.
         return returnResult;   
    }

The final test result:

     This "multiple jboss instances" issue is caused by java.lang.Runtime.exec on SOLARIS.

     This issue does NOT occurs on windows and linux(SUSE).

Solution:

     Read out BOTH inputstream AND errorstream of the process shown above.

Peter Johnson and David Lloyd,

     Thank you very much!!!
