GlassFish Utilities

The asadmin utility is located in /<glassfish>/bin. You can use this utility to perform the following:

• If you are in the top level of the GlassFish directory, the command to stop GlassFish is:
  bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1
• To restart GlassFish, type:

  ulimit -n 32768

bin/asadmin start-domain domain1

Or, you can create an initialization script (see The glassfish.sh Script):

1. Save the script in the following location:
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish.sh
2. Type the following:

   chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/glassfish

chkconfig --add glassfish
   You then can stop and start GlassFish by using the service command as follows:

   service glassfish stop

service glassfish start

Note: If you installed GlassFish anywhere other than /usr/local/glassfish, you must change the following line in the GlassFish script to the location in which you installed the application:

ASADMIN=/usr/local/glassfish/bin/asadmin

The glassfish.sh Script

#! /bin/sh
# chkconfig: 2345 99 01
# description: GlassFish App Server

set -e

# Increase file descriptor limit
ulimit -n 32768

ASADMIN=/usr/local/glassfish/bin/asadmin

case "$1" in
start)
     echo -n "Starting GlassFish server: glassfish"
     $ASADMIN start-domain domain1
     echo "."
     ;;
stop)
     echo -n "Stopping GlassFish server: glassfish"
     $ASADMIN stop-domain domain1
     echo "."
     ;;

     echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/glassfish {start|stop}"
     exit 1
