How do I shutdown JBoss AS 7 server?

Question

I recently updated from jboss-as.7.1.0.CR1b to jboss-as.7.1.0.Final and want to shutdown running instance from the console. In previous versions the command

$JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-admin.sh --connect command=:shutdown

was available, but I do not see jboss-admin.sh in the bin directory or other shell scripts for shutting down the server.

Answer 1

For some reason the JBoss team decided to reorganize the scripts between minor revision upgrades. In any case, jboss-cli.sh is the replacement for jboss-admin.sh (they are for all intents and purposes the exact same script). So your new shutdown command is:

 ./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

Answer 2

For standalone mode,

./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

For domain mode, hostname should be specified like this:

./jboss-cli.sh --connect  /host=master:shutdown

'master' is the default hostname. The server hostname could be found in $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/host.xml

If you have set security realm then use:

./jboss-cli.sh --connect --controller=<host>:<port> --user=<username> --password=<password> /host=master:shutdown

Answer 3

If your server has the controller listening in a different URL than localhost:

${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --controller=<host>:<port> command=:shutdown

Only for your information. ;)

Answer 4

In Windows ......jboss-eap-6.1\bin\jboss-cli.bat Double click or run by cmd prompt.

Answer 5

 ./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

when I use this command in standalone mode it off , but when I 'm in an ssh connection must exit and enter again and then run this command

Answer 6

I just want to contribute the answer for Jboss 5.x server, because the question is relevant to JBoss shutdown.

For Windows, proper syntax is mentioned below:

${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/shutdown.bat -s jnp://applicationHostedEnvironment:portNumber -S

For example: If the application is hosted on local machine with the port 1099 then use:

${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/shutdown.bat -s jnp://localhost:1099 -S

For Linux, Syntax:

${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/shutdown.sh -s jnp://applicationHostedEnvironment:portNumber -S<br>

For example: If the application is hosted on local machine with the port 1099 then use:

${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/shutdown.sh -s jnp://localhost:1099 -S
