I’m not sure if this is relevant, but it may be worth looking at. The slave considers the job complete when the process exits _and_ STDOUT and STDERR have been closed off. Since the “service” program is launching JBoss, it may do something stupid like leave stderr open, so that if the server ran into a problem, you’d see it on the prompt that you ran “service” on.
Here’s an experiment. Make the command: service jboss start > /tmp/jboss_start.out 2>&1 && cat /tmp/jboss_start.out One of three things might happen: 1: Everything just works, which is great. 2: The job still hangs, and cat is left running, not getting EOF from jboss_start.out because the server is still connected to it. If you can get away with it, ditch the ‘cat’ command and only look at jboss_start.out by hand if you need to. 3: The job still hangs after cat exits out, which means that my theory is wrong. --Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eric Wood Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 3:51 PM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Unable to successfully start a JBOSS service using Publish over SSH An additional note. I see that they recommend using the provided service script called $JBOSS_HOME/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh. We are using some "older" version developed in-house. I can't see significant differences, but not sure if the way the service is invoked is a factor. do you use the recommended version of the init.d script mentioned above?

If I run the same service from the publish over ssh, it does not seem to return and times out. I have the time out set to five minutes. It i stop the process once it is started via the ssh command and then go to the server and kill the process by running a service jboss7.1 stop, the ssh command will terminate and return normally to the jenkins job and indicate success. What is teh run line you are using to start your service?

We found we had to up the "Exec Timeout" property (under Advanced) as the JBoss start script that we use doesn't return until the app server has started and all the apps deployed have started too (i.e. its "open for business") Not sure if thats what you are seeing or not but might be worth looking at. I assume that "service jboss7.1 start", if run from a normal command line, will eventually return back to the shell prompt? If not, then that's probably the bigger issue as service commands should really return eventually :) HTH Richard.

It will eventually timeout, but not terminate on it own even when the service command exits with a "0". If I run the command: service jbossas7.1 stop while the Jenkins job is still connected and after the service has successfully started, it will terminate the connection and the job will return with a success status. How do I get the service started and the ssh session to terminate when the service starts.
