The CLI says:
hostname%./asadmin start-instance instance1
Command start-instance executed successfully.
The server (DAS) log says:
[#|2010-06-21T15:37:16.240-0400|INFO|glassfish3.1|null|
_ThreadID=41;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|There is a process already using
the admin port 25848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish
server.|#]
[#|2010-06-21T15:37:16.241-0400|INFO|glassfish3.1|null|
_ThreadID=41;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|Command start-local-instance
failed.|#]
So did it work or fail? FWIW, if I then list instances:
hostname% /Users/bobby/work/ws/v3/distributions/glassfish/target/
glassfishv3/glassfish/bin/asadmin list-instances
instance1 not running
instance2 running
But hitting the http listener port in a browser shows it's running. So
it's either running or not running. :)
