             Summary: null file is created in bin directory when starting standalone.bat
                 Key: WFCORE-4335
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-4335
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Scripts
            Reporter: Marek Kopecký
            Assignee: Teresa Miyar


When starting standalone.bat on Windows, a file named "null" is created in the bin directory.

Looking at the standalone.bat file, I find this new line which was added:

            rem Remove the gc.log file from the -version check
            del /F /Q "%JBOSS_LOG_DIR%\gc.log" > null 2>&1

But, this is a typo.  What it's trying to do is suppress the output of the del command.  In unix, you'd redirect it to /dev/null.  In Windows, you're supposed to redirect it to nul (with one L), as in this example line from slightly earlier in the standalone.bat file:

        move /y "%JBOSS_LOG_DIR%\gc.log" "%JBOSS_LOG_DIR%\backupgc.log" > nul 2>&1
