How to stop JBoss from CLI

If you are working with JBoss and need to stop it from the command line interface (CLI), there are a few ways to do so depending on your environment.

Method 1: Using jboss-cli.sh script

The easiest way to stop JBoss is to use the jboss-cli.sh script, which can be found in the bin directory of your JBoss installation. Simply navigate to the bin directory and run the following command:

./jboss-cli.sh --connect command=:shutdown

This will connect to the JBoss server and issue a shutdown command, stopping the server.

Method 2: Using Java Management Extensions (JMX)

If the above method doesn't work for you, you can also stop JBoss using Java Management Extensions (JMX). To do so, follow these steps:

1. Start the jconsole utility by running the following command:

jconsole

1. Select the JBoss process from the list of Java processes.
2. Click on the "MBean" tab.
3. Expand "jboss.system" and select "Server".
4. Click on the "Operations" tab and select "shutdown".
5. Click on the "Invoke" button to stop the server.

Method 3: Using kill command

If neither of the above methods work for you, you can also stop JBoss using the kill command. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Find the process ID (PID) of the JBoss server by running the following command:

ps -ef | grep jboss

1. Note the PID of the JBoss process.
2. Use the kill command to stop the server by running the following command:

kill -9 PID

1. Replace "PID" with the actual process ID of the JBoss server.

Regardless of which method you choose, stopping JBoss from the CLI is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily using the steps outlined above.
