Note

Please note that automated updating of copies created using methods above is not

supported. If you create custom copies, you will manually have to port files / changes

from a new update to that copy.

4.4. Using the jbossas-* commands from any directory

Most of the commands found in $JBOSS_HOME/bin have equivalents in /usr/bin with names like

jbossas-command, where command is the original JBoss AS command name. So, for instance, there

is a jbossas-run command that is available from any directory.

To use these commands, however, you must set two environment variables:

export JBOSS_HOME=/var/lib/jbossas

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java

where the value you give for JAVA_HOME is the location of your installed Java VM.

Note

Please note that automated updating of instances created using methods below is

not supported. If you create custom instances, you will manually have to port files /

changes from a new update to that instance.

The description here is restricted to running multiple instances of the JBoss AS Linux service. Running

multiple instances with run.sh is already described elsewhere in the JBoss AS documentation.

You can administer multiple SysV services that run JBoss AS by creating additional service scripts.

The process basically consists of:

• creating a link with the new service name to the original jbossas init script in /etc/init.d

• copying the jbossas file in /etc/sysconfig to one with the new service name (the init script and

the configuration file names must match)

• making the desired configuration changes making sure:

• port conflicts are avoided

• a different log file is specified

Note

The original init script log files are created under /var/log/jbossas in directories

that correspond to the configuration used (like 'default') with the usual server.log

name. For instance:
