Hi Tom, Richard and all,

Thanks for the additional info.

While I was googling about this yesterday, I noticed that Arun had a
TOTD posting for this, that explained the 'solution'...
http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/totd_140_moving_glassfish_installation

That was excellent.

Snjezana wrote to me yesterday and pointed out that this is a filed
issue... http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-9988.

Does anybody know why it takes start-domain 600 seconds to detect that
the server did not start when the exceptions are triggered in less than
one second?

Could we put a better message into the log file or in the start-domain
command's response for this?

Or, just fail faster, so the user can start to take action sooner,
rather than later...

vbk

ps... I kept the strace on this message to help users find the info that
will help them...
