Thank you for the reply. CTRL-C work well when running the application in the foreground, however I have had no luck killing the process when it runs as a daemon with kill -s INT %run.sh_pid%. It seems that the shell script will only respond to kill -9 %run.sh_pid%. If I do kill the run.sh script with a kill -9, I still have to kill the initial java process that was spawned, or they remain running indefinetly. Any suggestions on safe killing of JBoss as a daemon? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3989777#...
