Starting and Stopping Geronimo in Gshell

Geronimo can be started through gshell using the geronimo/start-server command.

jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> geronimo/start-server --background
Launching Geronimo Server...
Booting Geronimo Kernel (in Java 1.5.0_13)...

If the --background option is not used, then the server instance will maintain control of the terminal and a new instance of gshell must be started to interact with the server.

Other useful geronimo/start-server options (Use geronimo/start-server --help to see a full list of options).

  -J (--javaopt) FLAG            Set a JVM flag
  -b (--background)              Run the server process in the background

                                 to increase verbosity

Geronimo can be stopped using the geronimo/stop-server command.

jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> geronimo/stop-server -u system -w manager
Stopping Geronimo server: localhost:1099
[] received stop signal

If username -u and password -w are not provided on the command line, the user will be prompted for them before the server shutdown process is started. The full set of geronimo/stop-server options can be seen in gshell using the --help option, the same way as for geronimo/start-server.

Due to a bug in Geronimo v2.1 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3845), stop-server will only work if you use system/manager as the user id/password. This bug will be addressed in the next Geronimo release. You can always use the shutdown command to stop your server.
