I noticed that [1] only occurs if the same config is used on the same box, e.g. - node1: run.sh -c all - node2: run.sh -c all If 'all' is copied to node1 and node2, and the nodes don't share the 'work' dir, then this works fine. However, that's a nuisance, as have to update 2 configs now (yes, I could use symbolic links), but this used to work in earlier versions (of jbossweb?)...
