Launching the CLI
If you are using Windows, you can start the CLI by entering the following command from
the
JBOSS_HOME/bin
folder using the Command Prompt:
jboss-cli.bat
Alternatively, enter the following command if you are using Linux:
./jboss-cli.sh
Once the CLI has started, you can connect to the managed server instance using the
con-
nect
command, which by default connects to
localhost
and the
9990
port:
[disconnected /] connect
[standalone@localhost:9990 /]
If you want to connect to another address or port, you can simply pass it to the
connect
command, as follows:
[disconnected /] connect 192.168.1.1
[standalone@192.168.1.1:9990 /]
It is also possible to launch a CLI in the connected mode; this allows it to be connected
automatically and to possibly specify the commands to be executed. For example, the fol-
lowing
shell
command automatically connects to a WildFly instance and issues a
shutdown
command:
> jboss-cli.bat --connect command=:shutdown
{"outcome" => "success"}
CLI is especially useful for the automation of your software development pro-
cess—
Continuous Integration
(
CI
) and production environment management systems can
automatically control the life cycle of your application server with tools such as Chef (
ht-
tps://www.getchef.com/
)
or Puppet (
http://puppetlabs.com/
)
. It might be handy if you
would like to minimize the number of manual tasks that are required to be done to deploy
an application.
