There's two things: If karaf status shows "/apache-karaf-4.2.6/data/port shutdown port file doesn't exist. The container is not running.", it means that the container is not running, else you would have the port.
Karaf status check if the port file is there, and use a socket on this port. If the port file is not there, or it's not possible to plug a socket on the port (without sending any shutdown command), then it's mean the karaf container is not running. Else you will see "Running ...". So, what's your point ? You mean that you would prefer just "Not running ..." or "Running ... " for status output ? If so, I can change the message with the port file is not there. Basically, currently we have three states: - never run - ran at least once, and not running currently - running Regards JB On 23/09/2019 18:37, Alex Soto wrote: > Can you elaborate on that ? > > Thanks, JB > > > >> On Sep 23, 2019, at 12:29 PM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Correct, command and port are populated at first start. >> >> You can check the pid using bin/status as well. >> >> Regards >> JB >> >> On 23/09/2019 18:27, Alex Soto wrote: >>> Maybe this only happens if “start” has never been called.
