I have the exact same problem. Earlier it used to shutdown everytime I used to logout of my ssh session, now it stays up for a few days and then shutsdown automatically. I see the same message in my server.log file. Log message: Runtime shutdown hook called, forceHalt: true My environment: JBOSS 4.2.2. GA Host: CentOS 5.0 JDK: jdk1.5.0_15 Start command: run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 & Does anyone from the jboss community have a resolution for this? This is getting to be very frustrating.
