Re: Old Gshell sample causing issues with setting Java Memory options

[Donald Woods]

Agree, that whatever override options the user supplies to GShell should always win over what is in the rc.d file.

I thought about this a little bit more and think that the way we handle this scripts is a little wrong. By this I mean that I think whatever is put on the command line should overwrite what is in the script. I haven't looked at the code for this, so I'm not sure how difficult of a change that would be.

Thanks,

    Editing it isn't an issue, and deleting probably was a little bit of
    an extreme idea.  Is this documented anywhere, though?  I don't
    think it's obvious to check for this wholly geronimo specific file
    to figure out why you are having issues setting max heap size.  I
    couldn't find any documentation on it.  Maybe I'll add some myself
    if it doesn't exist.  ;)

        can you edit your settings into this file instead of removing
        it?  I find that much more convenient than trying to remember a
        long command line.

        I found where the file is, but I'm not quite sure what to do
        about it.  My vote would go towards just removing it, but I'm
        sure it was put there with a purpose to begin with.  Anyone
        have objections to removing it or any other ideas as to what
        to do with it?

            I've been getting strange errors when trying to change the
            amount of memory available to my instance of geronimo that
            I have launched through gshell.  After some digging, I
            found that what I believe is an old sample that was left
            in the etc/rc.d/ directory (start-server,default.groovy)
            is setting the max heap size to 512m.  This causes issues
            as it overrides whatever the user provides on the command
            line.  Meaning if I try to issue the command
            "geronimo/start-server -J -Xmx1024m -J -Xms1024m" I would
            get an incompatible initial and maximum heap size error
            because the rc.d file is overwriting my command options
            and setting maximum heap size to 512m.  I fixed this by
            deleting the file in the rc.d directory.  Does anyone know
            where this file comes from?  I assume it gets added in
            somehow during build time.  I'll have to look and see if I
            can find where.  In the meantime, I'll open an issue for this.
