Wolf-Dieter,

Thank you for the reply. I have checked line 31 of my script and found JBOSS_BIND_ADDR=${JBOSS_HOST:"-b 0.0.0.0"}. I am not quite sure where to add 'set-x' to my scipt so I just added the contents of my script below. Hopefully it helps.

# JBoss Control Script

# To use this script run it as root - it will switch to the specified user

#

# Here is a little (and extremely primitive) startup/shutdown script

# for RedHat systems. It assumes that JBoss lives in /usr/local/jboss,

# it's run by user 'jboss' and JDK binaries are in /usr/local/jdk/bin.

# All this can be changed in the script itself.

#

# Either modify this script for your requirements or just ensure that

# the following variables are set correctly before calling the script.

#define where jboss is - this is the directory containing directories log, bin, conf etc

I made sure that the quote after -b 0.0.0.0 is the same as the first and that the quotes are the same as the others in the file. But I am still recieving the error. I actually commented line 31 out and I am still recieving the error. If you have any other suggestions, that would be great.
