We are running multiple instances of JBOSS (3.2.6) on the same box. We use the shutdown script with the argument "-s jnp://localhost:<jnp_port>" to shut down. The command never completes. We do not see the usual, "message sent, check logs" statement. Alternatively we tried issuing a "kill ". This caused the following to occur but hung at that point. The process never terminated. 18:42:51,270 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [3.2.6 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_3_2_6 date=200410140106)] Started in 9s:750ms 18:44:03,290 INFO [Server] JBoss SHUTDOWN: Undeploying all packages 18:44:03,291 INFO [TomcatDeployer] undeploy, ctxPath=/web-console, warUrl=file:/usr/master/jboss-3.2.6/server/default/deploy/management/web-console.war/ 18:44:03,306 INFO [TomcatDeployer] undeploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console, warUrl=file:/usr/master/jboss-3.2.6/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/ Any ideas? - Shankar View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985659#...
