2.4. Shutting Down the Containers

Because the child containers run in their own JVMs, they do not automatically stop when you shut down the root container. To shut down a container and its children, first stop the child containers by using the fabric:container-stop command. For example, to shut down the current fabric completely, enter these console commands:

JBossFuse:karaf@root> fabric:container-stop child
JBossFuse:karaf@root> shutdown -f

After you restart the root container, you must explicitly restart its child containers by invoking the fabric:container-start console command.

For instructions for shutting down a fabric that has more than one ensemble, see Chapter 5, Shutting Down a Fabric.
