[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-4271) Boot log writer ignores -Djboss.server.base.dir

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4271?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Heiko Rupp updated AS7-4271: ---------------------------- Description: When on OS/X you start a server with -Djboss.server.base.dir this directory is used for configuration and also server.log, but not to populate the boot.log, which is still written to standalone/logs/boot.log. This is bad, as it will overwrite a boot.log for a server configuration that is running in parallel without -Djboss.server.base.dir= flag. Actually the logging config also seems to point at the old place hrupp 78046 0,0 1,1 1537296 96228 s005 S+ 10:55am 0:03.70 /usr/bin/java -D[Standalone] -d32 -client -Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djboss.server.default.config=standalone.xml -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=/devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/log/boot.log -Dlogging.configuration=file:/devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/configuration/logging.properties -jar /devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-modules.jar -mp /devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/modules -jaxpmodule javax.xml.jaxp-provider org.jboss.as.standalone -Djboss.home.dir=/devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final -Djboss.server.base.dir=/devel/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone2 Turns out that the magic to detect -Djboss.server.base.dir in standalone.sh only works for linux: if $linux; then # consolidate the server and command line opts SERVER_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $@" # process the standalone options for var in $SERVER_OPTS as readlink is using '-m' flag that does not exist on OS/X.
