GlassFish on CentOS 7 (systemd) - "asadmin restart-domain" doesn't work as expected

  • 772

I use the following systemd script for GlassFish 4 on CentOS 7:

[Unit]
Description = GlassFish Server v4.1
After = syslog.target network.target

[Service]
User=glassfish
ExecStart = /usr/bin/java -jar /home/glassfish/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar start-domain
ExecStop = /usr/bin/java -jar /home/glassfish/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar stop-domain
ExecReload = /usr/bin/java -jar /home/glassfish/glassfish4/glassfish/lib/client/appserver-cli.jar restart-domain
Type = forking

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

The issue that when execute command "asadmin restart-domain" via web application itself or via NetBeans IDE, or via GlassFish Web admin page => Server => Restart - all processes of GlassFish got halted thus no one able to relaunch the GlassFish again.

In CentOS 6 with original GlassFish script (SysV) - everything works fine.

Any ideas how to fix that?

Edit 1:

1) status of the process after failed restart

  1. need to add to the section [Service] Restart=on-failure

  2. I suspect what it does is it sends a SIGUSR1 signal to the glassfish process, which then by defaults to exiting. I'd try by adding RestartForceExitStatus=SIGUSR1 to the service and see if that helps.
