JBoss EAP mysterious shutdown when using the Tanuki service wrapper

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • A JBoss EAP instance appears to be stopping for no apparent reason. It's a stable environment where there have been no changes for several months.  Currently JBoss is run as a windows service through Tanuki.

  • JBoss EAP Server is restarted without any obvious reason.

  • I'm seeing the following error in the wrapper.log:
