I have looked at $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss_init_redhat.sh. This seems inadequate if one wants to have 2 JBoss instances/machine... It can easily be copied/hacked to run $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh -c config for each separate instance. BUT I can't see how the code for stop/status can relate to WHICH instance to stop/report status on. Is this a bug/need for enhancement? Has there anyone out there who has solved this and is willing to contribute their solution? I have a REALLY BAD/hacky solution (can't post now...code is at work, I'm at home) I use twiddle.sh/probe.sh. I probably could use something like kill `ps axw | grep config | cut ...` for 'stop' but not for 'status'... This applies to 4.0.5GA and 4.2...., as far as I can see. Thoughts/comments/suggestions gratefully accepted. Cheers, Alph View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033516#...
