Faulty Port-Check in JBoss EAP 6.0.0 init script

Issue

We are running apache as a reverse proxy server which results in lingering connections on port 8080 (not listening) even after jbossas has been stopped. For example:

netstat -apntl|grep ":8080"
tcp        1      0 10.10.10.10:58777         10.10.10.10:8080          CLOSE_WAIT  21825/httpd

• When we try to start JBoss it gives below error :

#/etc/init.d/jbossas start
Starting jbossas:                                     [FAILED]
Port 8080 is busy, is there a Tomcat running?
