Chapter 4. Starting and Stopping JBoss Fuse

Abstract

Red Hat JBoss Fuse provides simple command-line tools for starting and stopping the server.

4.1. Starting JBoss Fuse

Abstract

The default way for deploying the Red Hat JBoss Fuse runtime is to deploy it as a standalone server with an active console. You can also deploy the runtime as a background process without a console.

Overview

The default way for deploying the Red Hat JBoss Fuse runtime is to deploy it as a standalone server with an active console. You can also deploy the runtime to run as a background process without a console.

Setting up your environment

You can start the JBoss Fuse runtime directly from the bin subdirectory of your installation, without modifying your environment. However, if you want to start it in a different folder you will need to add the bin directory of your JBoss Fuse installation to the PATH environment variable, as follows:
Windows
set PATH=%PATH%;InstallDir\bin
Linux/UNIX
export PATH=$PATH,InstallDir/bin

Launching the runtime in console mode

If you are launching the JBoss Fuse runtime from the installation directory use the following command:
Windows 
bin\fuse.bat
Linux/UNIX 
./bin/fuse
If JBoss Fuse starts up correctly you should see the following on the console: 
      _ ____                  ______
     | |  _ \                |  ____|             
     | | |_) | ___  ___ ___  | |__ _   _ ___  ___
 _   | |  _   / _ \/ __/ __| |  __| | | / __|/ _ \
| |__| | |_) | (_) \__ \__ \ | |  | |_| \__ \  __/

Hit '<tab>' for a list of available commands
and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command.
Hit '<ctrl-d>' or 'osgi:shutdown' to shutdown JBoss Fuse.

Note
Since version JBoss Fuse 6.2.1, launching in console mode creates two processes: the parent process ./bin/karaf, which is executing the Karaf console; and the child process, which is executing the Karaf server in a java JVM. The shutdown behaviour remains the same as before, however. That is, you can shut down the server from the console using either Ctrl-D or osgi:shutdown, which kills both processes.

Launching the runtime in server mode

Launching in server mode runs Red Hat JBoss Fuse in the background, without a local console. You would then connect to the running instance using a remote console. See Section 8.2, “ Connecting and Disconnecting Remotely” for details.
To launch JBoss Fuse in server mode, run the following
Windows 
bin\start.bat
Linux/UNIX 
./bin/start

Launching the runtime in client mode

In production environments you might want to have a runtime instance accessible using only a local console. In other words, you cannot connect to the runtime remotely through the SSH console port. You can do this by launching the runtime in client mode, using the following command:
Windows 
bin\fuse.bat client
Linux/UNIX 
./bin/fuse client
Note
Launching in client mode suppresses only the SSH console port (usually port 8101). Other Karaf server ports (for example, the JMX management RMI ports) are opened as normal.
