As i can see firewall is disable on the server. I have no idea about selinux. I have to use customize the jboss in such a way that when the server reboot jboss starts up automatically. For this i have put 'jboss' script in /etc/rc.d/init.d directory whcih calls the run.sh file to start and shutdown.sh file to stop jboss. When i start jboss /etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss start then jboss run perfectly fine. But when i tries to stop jboss (which calls shutdown.sh file of jboss) then it gives me that error. How to fix this. I know alternatively i can kill the jboss process to stop which i don't want. I want to use shutdown.sh script. Is it a problem with Jboss configuration or something else. Please correct me. Thanks.

Or by using 'kill' to send a SIGINT signal. Either one causes the app server to shut down cleanly. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4112974#...
