./bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh hangs while calling via SSH

Issue

Trying to start Jboss as service from remote machine using below command:

ssh root@myserver service jboss-as-standalone.sh start 

The server starts up normally, but SSH hangs. It seems it isn't able to close the connection. Control doesn't return to local system:

[abhumbe@abhumbe ~]$ ssh root@10.10.10.10 service jboss-as-standalone.sh start
root@10.10.10.10's password: 
Starting jboss-as: [  OK  ]
