How to avoid manually kill the running Jira/Confluence process before Restart Jira or Restart Conflu

[Mandia]

Hi everyone,

When we run ansible to upgrade jira/confluence, before restart jira/confluence we must manually kill the running jira/confluence process before restart jira. Does anyone has some suggestions how to avoid this situation? Many thanks!

If you look at the shutdown.sh script, you will see the command called is

exec $PRGDIR/shutdown.sh 20 -force $@

In this case the 20 is seconds to wait for a clean shutdown before trying to kill the process.

Try increasing that to too if you can get a clean shutdown before the kill runs.

That said, I've never seen a problem with the process just being killed. Still starts up fine.

Hi @Mandia 

Not sure the details of your deployment but you should be able to start and stop your device gracefully
