How to shutdown JBoss AS 7 server

The most common ways to use the shutdown command are:

• shutdown -s — Shuts down.
• shutdown -r — Restarts.
• shutdown -l — Logs off.

• shutdown -h — Hibernates.

  Note: There is a common pitfall wherein users think -h means "help" (which it does for every other command-line program... except shutdown.exe, where it means "hibernate"). They then run shutdown -h and accidentally turn off their computers. Watch out for that.

• shutdown -i — "Interactive mode". Instead of performing an action, it displays a GUI dialog.

• shutdown -a — Aborts a previous shutdown command.

The commands above can be combined with these additional options:

• -f — Forces programs to exit. Prevents the shutdown process from getting stuck.
• -t <seconds> — Sets the time until shutdown. Use -t 0 to shutdown immediately.
• -c <message> — Adds a shutdown message. The message will end up in the Event Log.

• -y — Forces a "yes" answer to all shutdown queries.

  Note: This option is not documented in any official documentation. It was discovered by these StackOverflow users.

I want to make sure some other really good answers are also mentioned along with this one. Here they are in no particular order.

• The -f option from JosephStyons
• Using rundll32 from VonC
• The Run box from Dean
• Remote shutdown from Kip

We had exactly the same issue on Windows. We fixed this by using JBoss AS 7.1.1 instead of 7.1.0. Probably you also need to do this workaround. But I assume this is not necessary, because you already use Version 3.3 of the JBoss Tools.
