Hello everyone,

strange things are happening when I'm trying to shut down a JBoss node with:

shutdown.sh -S

The result I get is this:

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]]]

These are the ports opened by JBoss, and as you will notice, port 1099 is among them:

tcp 0 0 10.207.1.28:1100 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 11323/java

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1102 0.0.0.0:* 11323/java

However, there seems to be *something* wrong, since I can't even connect via telnet:

# telnet localhost 1099
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

My JBoss version is 4.0.1, JDK is 1.5.0_01, running on a Debian 3.0 with Linux kernel 2.2.20, no firewall actiaved.

I hope somebody can give me a clue on this issue. Thanks in advance!
