The shell script jboss_init_redhat is used to start and stop a JBoss AS instance, under a given user name.

To start an EAP instance using the script:

1. specify location of EAP distribution
   > export JBOSS_HOME=...
2. specify user name to be used to start instance
   > export JBOSS_USER=...
3. specify location of Java
   > export JAVAPTH=...
4. specify the bind address to be used
   > export JBOSS_HOST=...
   > ./jboss_init_redhat start

To stop an EAP instance using the script:
> ./jboss_init_redhat stop

When using a non-loopback bind address, the following exception arises when calling stop:

[nrla@localhost bin]$ ./jboss_init_redhat.sh stop
JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /tmp/jboss-eap-5.0/jboss-as/bin; /tmp/jboss-eap-5.0/jboss-as/bin/run.sh -c default -b 192.168.0.100
