Under Windows, you can stop a JBoss Web-application process immediately by adding a command switch to kill the process.

Notes:

• The option that you add in the following steps actually kills the Windows process IDs that are associated with the wrapper.exe file and the java.exe files.
• Killing the Jboss process immediately stops the server as well as any Web applications that are deployed on the server.

To add a command switch, you must modify the SASServer(x).bat file, as follows:

1. In the the SASServer(x).bat file that is found in JBOSS_installation_directory\bin\, add the following lines between the existing :resume and :status blocks:
   :kill set /p wrappervar=< "%WRAPPER_DIR%\%SERVICENAME%.wrapperpid" set /p javavar=< "%WRAPPER_DIR%\%SERVICENAME%.javapid" TASKKILL /F /PID %wrappervar% TASKKILL /F /PID %javavar% goto end

   Example

   
   
   :resume net continue "%SERVICENAME%" if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 echo JBoss server resumed as a service goto end :kill set /p wrappervar=< "%WRAPPER_DIR%\%SERVICENAME%.wrapperpid" set /p javavar=< "%WRAPPER_DIR%\%SERVICENAME%.javapid" TASKKILL /F /PID %wrappervar% TASKKILL /F /PID %javavar% goto end :status sc interrogate "%SERVICENAME%" goto end
2. Add the following lines after the line that contains if %1 EQU -status goto status:
   if %1 EQU kill goto kill if %1 EQU -kill goto kill

   Example

   
   
   if %1 EQU -status goto status if %1 EQU kill goto kill if %1 EQU -kill goto kill goto usage
3. Update the :usage lines to reflect the new command
:usage echo USAGE: %0 {install ^| start ^| stop ^| restart ^| pause ^| resume ^| remove ^| status ^| kill} goto end
4. Save the file



5. Then, edit the wrapper.conf file in JBOSS_installation_directory\server\SASServer1\ by adding the following lines to the end of the file:
   # Pids wrapper.pidfile = JBoss – SASServer1.wrapperpid wrapper.java.pidfile = JBoss – SASServer1.javapid # Name of the service wrapper.ntservice.name=JBoss – SASServer1

   Note: JBoss – SASServer1 is the name of the service as it is designated in the wrapper.ntservice.name= parameter.

6. Save the file

To use the new switch, you can open a command prompt, change to the JBOSS_installation_directory\bin\ directory, and type the command:

SASServer(x).bat kill

You should see the following text as output:
