How do I restart JBoss on AIX?

Basic Restart Procedure

Log into the server as root and run the following command

/u2/eclipse/modules/bin/services.sh -d jboss

The application server will immediately begin the restart procedure, and it should be back up and running within 2-3 minutes on most servers.

Extended Restart Procedure

If the application server crashes, and attempts to restart it using the basic restart procedure above, or at the direction of Eclipse support, please follow this procedure as root to perform an extended, clean restart of JBoss:

  • Stop the JBoss service:
/u2/eclipse/modules/bin/services.sh -d jboss
  • Kill any errant JBoss processes:
ps -ef|grep jboss|awk '{print $2}'|xargs -i kill -9 {}
  • Kill any errant J2EE (connection pool) phantoms on the database server:
ps -ef|grep SOLAR.J2EE.CONNECTION|awk '{print $2}'|xargs -i kill -4 {}
  • (Optional) Backup logs for diagnosis (releases 8.7.2 and below):
cd /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/server/eclipse
tar cvf /esupport/jboss.logs.`date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S`.tar ./log
  • (Optional) Backup logs for diagnosis (releases 8.7.3 and above):
cd /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/eclipse
tar cvf /esupport/jboss.logs.`date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S`.tar ./log
  • Remove JBoss temporary directories (releases 8.7.2 and below):
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/server/eclipse/tmp
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/server/eclipse/log
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/server/eclipse/data
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/server/eclipse/work
  • Remove JBoss temporary directories (release 8.7.3 and above):
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/eclipse/tmp
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/eclipse/log
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/eclipse/data
rm -rf /u2/eclipse/modules/jboss/eclipse/work
  • Remove the CONNECTED.APP.SERVERS control record:
cd /u2/eclipse
/u2/uv/bin/uv
ed control connected.app.servers
fd
y
q
  • Start the JBoss service:
/u2/eclipse/modules/bin/services.sh -e jboss
