jboss folder gone missing, how to track the root cause.

kidi Dec 7, 2011 12:17 PM

Hi,

I am not sure if anyone ever had this kind of exprience with jboss. The whole jboss folder [lib, client, docs all of it] from /root/home directory is gone missing all of a sudden. Is there a way to track the issue with server or what made this happen? I remeber the last command issuesd was ~top.

Using jboss-4.2.3.GA.

Thanks all,

~KL

Normally folder does not disapear.
You might have (misconfigured) cron jobs to clean-up or admins that don't want to have anything in the root's home.
Or just another user removing that directory.

Thansk for reply.
I understand that its not normal for folder to go missing all of a sudden and most likely its a case of user doing such changes but that is not the case with us. Recently found some worms doing wget to phishy link plus large number of $JBOSS_HOME/deploy/kisses.tar.gz. not sure where did it come from but i think missing Jboss folder might have something to do with it. I was trying to look into something on server machine itself which could point to what might have caused the trouble with jboss. No clue yet.
