Fedora Core 4 ColdFusion shutdown problems

A friend of mine is having problems trying to shutdown ColdFusion MX 7 on fedora core 4. He logs in to root and gets the following error when he uses the stop command;

/opt/coldfusionmx7/bin/coldfusion stop
Stopping ColdFusion MX 7, please wait
Stopping coldfusion server..could not stop server, either it's not running, you don't have permission to stop the server or it needs to be killed manually The ColdFusion MX 7 server seems to be hanging, will stop non-gracefully ColdFusion MX 7 has been stopped

Since he is logged in as root, he is curious why CFMX is not stopping gracefully? If you have any ideas, please feel free to post them in my comments.

Rich's Gravatar I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I'm running CFMX7 on FC 4 as well, in multiserver configuration. I get a similar error if I run this without first doing su:

/opt/jrun4/bin/jrun -stop

Stopping samples server.could not stop server, either it's not running, you don't have permission to stop the server or it needs to be killed manually
Stopping admin server.could not stop server, either it's not running, you don't have permission to stop the server or it needs to be killed manually
Stopping cfusion server....stopped

Cfusion does stop successfully, but apparently the "samples" and "admin" servers are left hanging.

When I do an su and provide the root password first, everything shuts down fine.

Scion OF Faith's Gravatar Nope still reports same issue. I am running in standalone mode.

Rich's Gravatar Even after an su? Hmmph, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas...weird though that it does seem to shut down CF, just not cleanly.

Why would you want to shut down CF anyway? ;)

Scion OF Faith's Gravatar well if the power goes out I am setting my system up to shutdown gracefully in combination with its ups system. but cf always hiccups and has close down dirty.

Rich's Gravatar Interesting. May I ask what you're using for UPS? How much time does it give you? How much $$ was it? How does the UPS trigger your shutdown scripts?

I'm starting to do some mySql development on this box, and I'm a little worried about data corruption when the power flickers off. I might be looking to do something similar.

Sorry I don't have a better solution for your problem. It sounds to me, though, like it is in fact shutting CF down, but there are ancillary services hanging?

Scion OF Faith's Gravatar your typical walmart brand ups will give you about 45 minutes lead time to shutdown and it connects to *nix box via serial port. can be a little hairy to configure but its so much better then dirty shutdowns.
