[jboss-as7-dev] restart operation?

[John Mazzitelli]

Doh! I did NOT see that. I'm an idiot. I looked for a "restart" operation - totally didn't occur to me to look for "shutdown" :-)

This looks like what I need.

Side note: the help description for that operation says it uses System.exit(0) (for example, look at the tooltip of the jboss-cli.sh --gui swing app). In the standalone.sh it shows that it really looks for exit code 10 (and, btw, had I bothered to look in here before I would have seen this and would have known the feature was somewhere :-)

   if [ "$JBOSS_STATUS" -eq 10 ]; then
      echo "Restarting JBoss..."
   else
      exit $JBOSS_STATUS
   fi

So, as a nitpick - that help description should not specifically mention exit code of 0, unless you also want to mention that "the exit code will be 10 if the restart option is selected" or something like that.

Thanks,
John Mazz
