What changes did you make to the script? I believe that the init process requires a script to return a good result (0) when the script is successful. The 30 second delay sounds like the timeout the init process uses to determine if the initialization script hung. Wait a second, by any chance does it take about 30 seconds to start JBoss on your system? And did you change the script such that it doesn't complete unitl the server is up?
