Chris Davis [http://community.jboss.org/people/cdavis999] created the discussion "cmd.exe processes stranded after JBoss 5.1 service shutdown Windows 7" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/607072#607072 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm running JBoss EAP 5.1 as a service on Windows 7 (32-bit).  I used service.bat to install/uninstall the service.  I use the Windows Control Panel Services dialog to start and stop the service.  JBoss starts up cleanly and JBoss itself shuts down cleanly when I stop the service (as reported by the shutdown.log).  The jbosssvc.exe process and the java.exe process also disappear from Task Manager. However, Task Manager continues to show the two cmd.exe processes presumably spawned by jbosssvc.exe, for example: Image Name PID    User Name Command Line cmd.exe       7148  SYSTEM    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /E:ON /S /C "SET JSERVICE_PPID=6344&&SET JSERVICE_NAME=JBEAP5SVC&&CALL service.bat start" cmd.exe       8322  SYSTEM    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /E:ON /S /C "SET JSERVICE_PPID=6344&&SET JSERVICE_NAME=JBEAP5SVC&&CALL service.bat stop" These processes have to be manually killed.  Shouldn't jbosssvc.exe be able to shut these two processes down automatically?  The PPID parameter in the lines above is the same as the PID for jbosssvc.exe in Task Manager.  I had to tweak my bat files to match my file system paths, so I'm attaching them, along with my run.log and shutdown.log. For reference: while the JBoss service is running, Task Manager displays these lines (before I stop the service): Image Name  PID    User Name Command Line cmd.exe         7148  SYSTEM    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /E:ON /S /C "SET JSERVICE_PPID=6344&&SET JSERVICE_NAME=JBEAP5SVC&&CALL service.bat start" java.exe         3492  SYSTEM  "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin\java"  ­Xms512m ­Xmx1024m ­XX:PermSize=512m ­XX:MaxPermSize=512m ­Xrs ­Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true jbosssvc.exe 6344  SYSTEM   "C:\JBoss510\native32\sbin\jbosssvc.exe" ­r JBEAP5SVC Any help is greatly appreciated!
