2.3. Start and Stop Servers

2.3.1. Start and Stop Servers Using the Management CLI

Prerequisites

Servers can be started and stopped using the Management CLI or Management Console. Both tools can control a single Standalone Server instance or manage multiple servers across a Managed Domain deployment.
To use the Management Console, refer to Section 2.3.2, “Start a Server Using the Management Console”. When using the Management CLI, the process varies for Standalone Server and Managed Domain instances.
Stop a Standalone Server with the Management CLI

Standalone Servers, started either by a script or manually at a shell prompt, can be shut down from the Management CLI using the shutdown command.

Example 2.5. Stop a Standalone Server instance via the Management CLI

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] shutdown
To restart the JBoss EAP 6 Standalone Server instance, run the instance’s startup script or start it manually as described in Section 2.2.2, “Start JBoss EAP 6 as a Standalone Server”.
Start and Stop a Managed Domain with the Management CLI

The Management Console can selectively start or stop specific servers in a domain. This includes server groups across the whole of a domain as well as specific server instances on a host.

Example 2.6. 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. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] shutdown --host=master

Example 2.7. 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. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /server-group=main-server-group:start-servers
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /server-group=main-server-group:stop-servers

Example 2.8. 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. 
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=master/server-config=server-one:start
[domain@localhost:9999 /] /host=master/server-config=server-one:stop

Note

Use the tab key to assist with string completion and to expose visible variables such as available host and server configuration values.
