I do appreciate your reply, but it simply does not work. I tried as you specified and also tried with --server=localhost:1199 and it does not work either. Now, my bad was thinking the --server was expecting the JBoss server name, not the machine name. Still did not work with local host (get same error when trying to shutdown with --server=defaultE2RD:1199). But when using --server=127.0.0.1:1199 it works! Remote shutdown does not work, same error.
Why doesn't it look at the same binding xml that run.bat uses? Why not allow me to specify this just as I do for starting up? That way if my config changes, but run/shutdown does not need to change. Here is how I start my server: C:\jboss-3.2.3\bin\run.bat -c defaultE2RD Here is the beginning snippet of my bindings.xml: <service-config name="jboss:service=Naming" delegateClass="org.jboss.services.binding.AttributeMappingDelegate"> <delegate-config portName="Port" hostName="BindAddress"> 1198 </delegate-config> </service-config> ...
