As Danny mentions, the root of your problem is with name resolution, since it will shutdown properly when the IP address is specified. Is defaultE2RD the hostname of the machine, or simply the name of the JBoss configuration that you are running? The shutdown script takes the hostname or IP address of the machine, as well as the port, as the value for the --server argument.
As to your question about why the shutdown script does not look at the bindings XML, it gets back what arguments are being passed to the script (see above). The script cannot accept a JBoss configuration name as the argument, as it would then need to have some way of determining if that configuration was running locally or remotely and, based on that, need to figure out the hostname/IP address and port on which that configuration was running on that machine. Also, what if that configuration was running on multiple machines? Which one would you expect it to shut down? The local one, a random one, or all of them? To give you a little more detail on what the shutdown script does, it uses the value of the --server argument to make a RMI connection to the JMX server instance running on the specified server and port. Once it connects to the JMX server, it executes the stop() method on the server instance, which initiates a clean shutdown of the JBoss instance that is using that JMX server as its backbone. You can accomplish the same thing through a web browser by pointing it at the server's JMX console: http://<hostname>:8080/jmx-console >From the console, select the alias=jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor entry under jboss.jmx, then >invoke the stop() MBean operation to stop the JMX server (which will stop the other >components and shut down the server). Note: configuration "names" are a convenience for grouping components for a particular configuration. It does not uniquely identify a running server instance -- it simply identifies a top-level directory under which all of the configuration information and components for that configuration can be found. It really doesn't get you anywhere to get angry in a post or reply (hint: danny). We are all working professionals and should conduct discussions in that same professional manner. People will be more likely to provide assistance if you state your questions, concerns, and comments clearly and without resorting to inappropriate comments or remarks. <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826921#3826921";>View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826921>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
