Java – How to change Jboss’ logging directory

javajboss

I'm running jboss-as 7.2. I'm trying to configure all log files to go to /var/log/jboss-as but only the console log is going there. I'm using the init.d script provided with the package and it calls standalone.sh. I'm trying to avoid having to modify startup scripts.

I've tried adding JAVA_OPTS="-Djboss.server.log.dir=/var/log/jboss-as" to my /etc/jboss-as/jboss-as.conf file but the init.d script doesn't pass JAVA_OPTS to standalone.sh when it calls it.

The documentation also says I should be able to specify the path via XML with the following line in standalone.xml:

<path name="jboss.server.log.dir" path="/var/log/jboss-as"/>

However, it doesn't say where in the file to put that. Every place I try to put it causes JBoss to crash on startup saying that it can't parse the standalone.xml file correctly.

You can specify the path of your log files via the standalone.sh file. If you look at the org.jboss.as.logging subsystem, you will see the configuration there.

Ubuntu – Tomcat on virtual server: JVM cannot start because 44 GB Ram is not enough

javac generally spawns a separate process which should fall underneath different process rules.

-J options are for passing args via a wrapper/launcher to the JVM, I've not seen this on Tomcat.

Find out where the -Xmx is coming from:

find /your/install/dir/with/tomcat |xargs grep '-Xmx'

Bash – How to execute a bash shell script via a browser link

The CGI script will run with the userid of the webserver, which might not be the userid of the person who was testing it. Have you considered that?
The CGI script needs to print a header and some output like "Success, thanks for using auto.sh".

 echo "Content-type: text/plain"
 echo 
 echo "Success, thanks for using auto.sh"

If its too clunky trying to do CGI from the shell, wrap it in a little bit of perl or python which have libraries to deal with CGI.

An alternative approach would be to leave a token in a file or database column that tells it to run, and then have it either activate from cron or have it constantly run and look for the token.

Also, depending on how the web server is set up, your CGI only gets so long to run before it times out...
