Start/Stop JBoss on Linux
Start/Stop JBoss on Linux
In this tutorial, we will learn the frequent server actions performed from the command line. We will start and Stop JBoss from the command line in a Linux terminal. We will use the Ubuntu Linux distribution for this tutorial.
Install JBoss on Linux:
Start JBoss
Start JBoss in standalone mode:
Launch Terminal.
Change Working directory to $JBOSS_HOME/bin
Issue the following command:
$ ./standalone.sh
This command will start the server.
Stop JBoss
In the terminal where the JBoss is started, type Ctrl + C to stop the JBoss server gracefully.
Non graceful stop
Grep the process id of the JBoss server wit the ps command and issue a kill -9 <jboss_pid>
$ ps -aef | grep wildfly
For example, if the process id of the JBoss server is 7152, then issue the following command to kill the process non gracefully.
$ kill -9 7152
As an analogy, this option is like hitting the power button to stop a machine like Laptop without closing the running applications and choosing the shutdown option provided in the OS.
