GShell is an extensible, command-line processing environment for creating command-line applications. GShell includes support for command editing, command history, input/output redirection, and more. GShell is a subproject of Geronimo. For more information on GShell, see the GShell wiki.
Many Geronimo administrative commands have been implemented using GShell. Previously existing Geronimo commands (e.g. startup, geronimo.sh, deploy.sh) are still included in Geronimo. Over time, however, it is expected that we will implement all administrative commands using GShell, only.
This document is organized in the following sections:
A simple launcher script/.bat file is located in the <geronimo_home>/bin directory. To start GShell just type gsh
GShell commands may be specified when starting GShell:
./gsh deploy/list-modules
or commands may be entered interactively:
coltrane kevan$ ./gsh Apache Geronimo (2.1) Type 'help' for more information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kevan@coltrane:/> deploy/list-modules Connecting to Geronimo server: localhost:1099 Username: system Password: ******* Connection established Found 84 modules + org.apache.geronimo.configs/activemq-broker/2.1/car + org.apache.geronimo.configs/activemq-ra/2.1/car + org.apache.geronimo.configs/axis/2.1/car ...
The help command will display all GShell commands that are available in the current environment.

To obtain help information on any command, use the --help option:
kevan@coltrane.local:/> deploy/list-modules --help list-modules -- TARGET Target name -a (--all) Show started or stopped modules -h (--help) Display this help message -p (--port) N Port, default 1099 -r (--started) Show started modules only -s (--hostname, --server) VAL Hostname, default localhost -t (--stopped) Show stopped modules only -u (--username) VAL Username -w (--password) VAL Password
The following list shows the Geronimo specific commands available:
deploy/deploy Deploy a module deploy/undeploy Undeploy a module deploy/start Start a module deploy/stop Stop a module deploy/restart Restart a module deploy/list-modules List modules deploy/redeploy Redeploy a module deploy/distribute Distribute a module deploy/connect Connect to a Geronimo server deploy/disconnect Disconnect from a Geronimo server deploy/install-library Install library deploy/list-targets List targets deploy/install-plugin Install a plugin deploy/list-plugins Install plugins into a geronimo server deploy/assemble Extract a geronimo server from the current one geronimo/start-server Start a Geronimo server geronimo/stop-server Stop a Geronimo server geronimo/start-client Start a Geronimo application client
Geronimo can be started through gshell using the geronimo/start-server command.
jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> geronimo/start-server --background Launching Geronimo Server... Booting Geronimo Kernel (in Java 1.5.0_13)...
If the --background option is not used, then the server instance will maintain control of the terminal and a new instance of gshell must be started to interact with the server.
Other useful geronimo/start-server options (Use geronimo/start-server --help to see a full list of options).
start-server
--
-A (--javaagent) JAR Use a specific Java Agent, set to 'none' to dis
able
-D (--property) NAME=VALUE Define system properties
-G (--gproperty) NAME=VALUE Define an org.apache.geronimo property
-H (--home) DIR Use a specific Geronimo home directory
-J (--javaopt) FLAG Set a JVM flag
-b (--background) Run the server process in the background
-h (--help) Display this help message
-j (--jvm) DIR Use a specific Java Virtual Machine for server
process
-l (--logfile) FILE Capture console output to file
-m (--module) NAME Start up a specific module by name
-q (--quiet) Suppress informative and warning messages
-t (--timeout) N Specify the timeout for the server process in s
econds
-v (--verbose) Enable verbose output; specify multipule times
to increase verbosity
Geronimo can be stopped using the geronimo/stop-server command.
jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> geronimo/stop-server -u system -w manager Stopping Geronimo server: localhost:1099 [] received stop signal
If username -u and password -w are not provided on the command line, the user will be prompted for them before the server shutdown process is started. The full set of geronimo/stop-server options can be seen in gshell using the --help option, the same way as for geronimo/start-server.
On a Windows platform
Use forward slash "/" instead of traditional back slash "\" as directory seperators.
For example:
jason@Local:/> geronimo/start-server -j 'c:/programme files/Java60/bin/java.exe'
This issue is addressed by (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4709)
deploy/connect can be used to connect to an instance of Geronimo that is already running. If no options are provided, then the default port (1099) and host (localhost) will be used to connect to a server. The -p option can be used to specify a different port and -s to specify a remote hostname.
jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> deploy/connect --port 1099 --hostname foo.bar.com Connecting to Geronimo server: foo.bar.com:1099 Username: system Password: *******
deploy/disconnect can be used to disconnect from an already connected instance of Geronimo. Since only one instance of Geronimo can be connected at a time, no options are needed to specify which server to disconnect from.
jason@Jason-Warners-Computer.local:/> deploy/disconnect Disconnecting from Geronimo server Connection ended
deploy/deploy can be used to deploy a module to the geronimo instance that is currently connected.
A module file can be one of the following:
jason@butters:/> deploy/deploy <module> Connecting to Geronimo server: localhost:1099 Username: system Password: *******
The -u and -w options can be used to provide username and password when issuing the command. The -s option can be used to specify the hostname. If none specified, then the hostname defaults to localhost. Likewise -p can be used to specify a port to contact the host on with 1099 being the default. -i can be used to specify an inPlace deployment from the directory you are actually developing the application. In that instance, the path to the application would need to be provided in place of the location of the module.
A deployment plan is necessary to deploy an application. If the deployment plan is not in the WEB-INF directory of a module, then its location must be specified after the module in the command.
jason@butters:/> deploy/deploy <module> <deployment plan>
deploy/redeploy is used to deploy a newer version of a module onto a server where the older module is already deployed. It functions in a similar way to deploy/deploy but lacks an inPlace deployment option. The username and password is still required and can be provided via command line (-u and -w) or through a prompt after the command is issued. As with the deploy command, the user can specify both port (-p) and hostname (-s) if they differ from the defaults
jason@butters:/> deploy/redeploy -u system -w manager <module>
deploy/undeploy is used to properly remove a module from a server. The command takes the username (-u) and password (-w) options. If not provided, the user will be prompted. As with the deploy command, the user can specify both port (-p) and hostname (-s) if they differ from the defaults. The module id must be provided for the module you wish to undeploy.
jason@butters:/> deploy/undeploy -u system -w manager <module_id>
deploy/distribute works exactly like deploy/deploy except the module is not started once it has been deployed into the server and is not marked to be started each time the server starts. The command can be issued in the same way, with the same options, as deploy/deploy.
jason@butters:/> deploy/distribute -u system -w manager <module> <deployment plan>
