2.2. Start and Stop Servers

2.2.1. Start and Stop Servers Using the Management CLI

Prerequisites

You can start and stop servers (in standalone mode) with the Management CLI or the Management Console. In Domain mode, you can only start server instances. Both management tools allow you to control a single Standalone Server instance, or selectively manage multiple servers across a Managed Domain deployment. If you are using the Management Console in Domain Mode, refer to Section 2.2.2, “Start a Server Using the Management Console” for instructions. If you are using the Management CLI, the process varies between Standalone Server and Managed Domain instances.
Start and Stop a Standalone Server with the Management CLI

A Standalone Server instance can be started by the command line scripts, and shut down from the Management CLI with the shutdown command. If you require the instance again, run the startup process again as described in Section 2.1.2, “Start JBoss EAP 6 as a Standalone Server”.

Example 2.6. Stop a Standalone Server instance via the Management CLI

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] shutdown
Start and Stop a Managed Domain with the Management CLI

If you are running a Managed Domain, the Management Console allows you to selectively start or stop specific servers in the domain. This includes server groups across the whole of the domain, as well as specific server instances on a host.

Example 2.7. Stop a Server Host in a Managed Domain via the Management CLI

Similar to Standalone Server instance, the shutdown command is used to shut down a declared Managed Domain host. This example stops a server host named master by declaring the instance name before calling the shutdown operation. Use the tab key to assist with string completion and to expose visible variables such as available host values. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=master:shutdown

Example 2.8. Start and Stop a Server Group in a Managed Domain via the Management CLI

This example starts a default server group named main-server-group by declaring the group before calling the start and stop operations. Use the tab key to assist with string completion and to expose visible variables such as available server group name values. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /server-group=main-server-group:start-servers
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /server-group=main-server-group:stop-servers

Example 2.9. Start and Stop a Server Instance in a Managed Domain via the Management CLI

This example starts and then stops a server instance named server-one on the master host by declaring the host and server configuration before calling the start and stop operations. Use the tab key to assist with string completion and to expose visible variables such as available host and server configuration values. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=master/server-config=server-one:start
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=master/server-config=server-one:stop
