[ https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-5092?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Walter Raaflaub commented on WFCORE-5092: ----------------------------------------- [~lvydra] Hi Lukas, Thanks for looking into the issue! In point 5 of the steps to reproduce, I register the Windows service using the "service.bat" script by Tom Fonteyne from the "docs\contrib\scripts\service" directory (after copying this directory to "bin"). That's probably the key issue. After understanding the above comment by Bernhard Roider, I looked into the script. I registered the service as follows: run cmd as admin, cd to bin\service directory, then execute: service install /startup /name my_keycloak_service /display my_keycloak_service /desc "my keycloak service" When I register the service using the above command, it actually executes the following: "D:\basedir\keycloak\bin\service\amd64\wildfly-service" install my_keycloak_service --DisplayName="my_keycloak_service" --Description="my keycloak service" --LogLevel=INFO --LogPath="D:\basedir\keycloak\standalone\log" --LogPrefix=service --StdOutput=auto --StdError=auto --StartMode=exe --Startup=auto --StartImage=cmd.exe --StartPath="D:\basedir\keycloak\bin" ++StartParams="/c#set#NOPAUSE=Y#&&#standalone.bat#-Djboss.server.base.dir=D:\basedir\keycloak\standalone#--server-config=standalone.xml" --StopMode=exe --StopImage=cmd.exe --StopPath="D:\basedir\keycloak\bin" ++StopParams="/c jboss-cli.bat --connect --command=:shutdown" ++Environment= Note that NOPAUSE=Y is added to the StartParams, but not to the StopParams. When registered this way, the service behaves as described: it hangs when I try to stop it. From Bernhard Roider's comment I concluded that I should have registered the service with the following command: service install /startup /name my_keycloak_service /display my_keycloak_service /desc "my keycloak service" /environment "NOPAUSE=Y;JAVA_HOME=D:\basedir\java\jdk11" I wonder whether NOPAUSE=Y should be added to the StopParams expression, or the service.bat script should provide a default value for the environment parameter.   -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.8#713008)
