It works correctly on RHEL and Cygwin. | while [ 1 ]; do | # Execute the JVM. | "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS \ | -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JBOSS_ENDORSED_DIRS" \ | -classpath "$JBOSS_CLASSPATH" \ | org.jboss.Main "$@" & | JBOSS_PID=$! | echo "JBOSS_PID: $JBOSS_PID" | # Trap common signals and relay them to the JBoss process. | trap "echo Received SIGHUP. ; kill -HUP $JBOSS_PID" HUP | trap "echo Received SIGINT. ; kill -TERM $JBOSS_PID" INT | trap "echo Received SIGQUIT.; kill -QUIT $JBOSS_PID" QUIT | trap "echo Received SIGPIPE.; kill -PIPE $JBOSS_PID" PIPE | trap "echo Received SIGTERM.; kill -TERM $JBOSS_PID" TERM | WAIT_STATUS=0 | while [ "$WAIT_STATUS" -ne 127 ]; do | JBOSS_STATUS=$WAIT_STATUS | wait $JBOSS_PID 2>/dev/null | WAIT_STATUS=$? | done | if [ $JBOSS_STATUS -eq 10 ]; then | echo Restarting JBossAS... | else | exit $JBOSS_STATUS | fi | # If restart doesn't work, see this if you're running JBossAS 4.0.4 or earlier: | # http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2483 | # or this if you're running Red Hat 7.0: | # http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4465334.html | done | I've attached a patch to http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3748.
