I'm on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, in case that matters. ActiveMQ 5.4.0 is installed to /usr/local/activemq, and a user named 'activemq' owns this directory and everything in it (via `chown -R activemq /usr/local/activemq`). The behavior described here happens when I take the actions described either as 'root' or as 'activemq'.
If I say `activemq start`, I get a java process running and `netstat -a` shows port 61616 being used. `activemq stop` throws a Java exception, then terminates ActiveMQ with SIGKILL: $ bin/activemq stop INFO: Using default configuration (you can configure options in one of these file: /etc/default/activemq /home/activemq/.activemqrc) INFO: Invoke the following command to create a configuration file bin/activemq setup [ /etc/default/activemq | /home/activemq/.activemqrc ] INFO: Using java '/usr/bin/java' INFO: Waiting at least 30 seconds for regular process termination of pid '6206' : Java Runtime: Sun Microsystems Inc. 1.6.0_21 /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21 Heap sizes: current=15552k free=15146k max=249472k JVM args: -Dactivemq.classpath=/usr/local/activemq/conf; -Dactivemq.home=/usr/local/activemq -Dactivemq.base=/usr/local/activemq ACTIVEMQ_HOME: /usr/local/activemq ACTIVEMQ_BASE: /usr/local/activemq Connecting to JMX URL: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to execute stop task.
