To Stop a Domain

Stopping a domain or server shuts down its domain administration server (DAS). When stopping a domain, the DAS stops accepting new connections and then waits for all outstanding connections to complete. This shutdown process takes a few seconds. While the domain is stopped, the Administration Console and most of the asadmin subcommands cannot be used. This subcommand is particularly useful in stopping a runaway server. For more controlled situations, you can use the restart-domain(1) subcommand.

For Microsoft Windows, you can use an alternate method to stop a domain. From the Start menu, select the command for your distribution of GlassFish Server:

• If you are using the Full Platform, select Programs -> Oracle GlassFish Server -> Stop Admin Server.

• If you are using the Web Profile, select Programs -> Oracle GlassFish Server Web Profile -> Stop Admin Server.

1. If necessary, notify users that you are going to stop the domain.

2. Stop the domain by using the stop-domain(1) subcommand.

Example 3–7 Stopping a Domain (or Server)

This example stops domain1 in the default directory, where domain1 is the only domain present in the directory.
