Apologies for some reason the machine I was testing on had the jar files
installed in domains/domain1/lib/ext and not domains/domain1/lib.
Although i'd expect that to work as well?

Pressing ctrl^c / sigterm results in nothing, there is a pause and then
it terminates, but nothing is dumped to the console or the log files
(maybe a lower log level is needed?) Using asadmin results in "Server
shutdown initiated" followed by various message from things shutting
down and then finally "Shutdown procedure finished". This is the
glassfish v3.1.1 b12.

I guess if you have a power failure or system crash you have bigger
issues on your mind. I was trying to get a generic script and was
thinking about advanced setups with clustering for example. I didn't
know if any data needed to be flushed before it shutdown. I'll ignore it
for now
