JBAS restart op should be fail fast, otherwise you get dup processes started ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JOPR-77 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JOPR-77 Project: Jopr Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugin - JBoss AS 4 Affects Versions: 2.1 Environment: linux, postgres, upgraded install, jon2.1CR2 build Reporter: Jeff Weiss Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.2 Start EAP4.3 production, import the resource Don't fix the connection property error, go to Operations, do a Restart. It will eventually be shown "Success". Check the process list on the machine and note there are now 2 EAP processes running - the first never got shut down properly because of the lack of auth credentials in the connection properties. <joseph> lookin' at the code i think you're right. we blindly catch shutdown errors and continue start afterwards kind of silly. all ops should be fail fast
