For example, to do the common thing and launch the script from within the bin dir you have to either use an absolute path to instance1/2 or do something kludgey like:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>./standalone.sh -Djboss.server.base.dir=../instance2</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>2) The launch script directly references the standalone/configuration/logging.properties and standalone/log/boot.log files. So, if those files aren't present the server doesn't boot properly, and both instance1 and instance2 will use the standalone/log/boot.log as their boot log file (where logging goes until the boot process starts the logging subsystem.)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I've opened <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1752">https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1752</a> for these 2 points.</p></div>
