Does anyone have a script to restart JBoss running on Mac?

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm using JBoss 4.2.3.GA on Mac 10.7.4. In short, I'm looking for a script that will cleanly restart JBoss. Below is what I'm trying, which isn't working.

I created this script at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/jboss4.plist with owner/group = root/wheel and 644 permissions:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
        "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>jboss_server_4_2_3</string>

        <key>UserName</key>
        <string>davea</string>

        <key>GroupName</key>
        <string>staff</string>

        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
            <array>
                <string>/opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/run.sh</string>
                <string>-Djava.awt.headless=true</string>
            </array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</plist>

I load it up using

	launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/jboss4.plist

but this restart script isn't working, I think because the second command is getting run without waiting for the first one to stop. Does anyone have a script that will do this?

#!/bin/sh

launchctl stop jboss_server_4_2_3
launchctl start jboss_server_4_2_3

Thanks, - Dave
