Well, the process.destroy logic doesn't seem to work from what I've seen. So it's basically a useless line. This is why Dimitris suggested the use of the -H option to try to clean things up. Can you replace the process.destroy with the shutdown -H ? You could test trunk with /qa/tools/opt/jboss-test-1.0.5-SNAPSHOT.jar What about setting the value of this property to the name of the server config which fails? That way we can have a line which says: "The "tomcat-sso-cluster-01 server failed to stop" Even if we have multiple servers failing to stop, it is enough to know that one failed. That makes sense! I'm fine with you making these changes. Cool, I'll try to do these this week. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4117438#...
