Stopping the Service

There appears to be a problem with shutting down the Confluence server. According to Atlassian, this only happens on certain configuration and they are not able to determine yet why. I have personally experienced with every type of Virtualized Ubuntu system I have setup over the past few years.

Start by trying to perform a normal shutdown,

Code Block
langhtml
su - svradm
/opt/confluence/bin/shutdown.sh

Next ensure that Confluence actually shut down,

Code Block
langhtml
ps -ef | grep java | grep confluence

The resulting output shows all your java processes. Look for you Confluence java process which looks something similar to below,

Code Block
langhtml
svradm    2364     1  0 01:00 ?        00:02:37 /opt

If it does not exist then the shutdown occurred properly. However, if it still exists try running ps again in a few minutes. If it still exists after that you need to kill the process,

Code Block
langhtml
kill 2364 # Note change 2364, to the process ID that you see on your screen.
