[jetty-dev] Sometimes stopping Jetty fails

[John Ruggentaler <john.ruggentaler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes my shutdown script fails even if Jetty is running and I have to kill -9 <pid> to stop it. Anyone experience the issue? I am running jetty-runner-9.1.4.v20140401.jar.

My script (bin/shutdown) runs the following command:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -DSTOP.PORT=6061 -DSTOP.KEY=killit -jar jetty/start.jar --stop

> ./bin/shutdown

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)
