I very rarely have to restart lucee, but it does happen 
I am trying to setup a script so I can remotely restart it over ssh if I am at home.
I tested this with apache and it works with starting and stopping HTTPD , but I can’t seem to get Lucee to start. I can stop it, but I can’t restart or start it remotely.
example :
ssh user@myserver.com 'sudo service lucee_ctl restart'
ssh user@myserver.com 'sudo /opt/lucee/lucee_ctl restart'
Both fail even though it says they worked.
Oddly this works
ssh user@myserver.com 'sudo service lucee_ctl stop'
ssh user@myserver.com 'sudo service /opt/lucee/lucee_ctl stop'
It seems there is something in the startup script that keeps it from starting the server this way.
If I ssh user@myserver.com then run sudo service lucee_ctl restart it always works then I can exit.
I am on Amazon Linux. Any help would be appreciated I am probably just missing something simple.
What output do you get?
What’s in the remote log files?
From the command line of the other machine :
sh -i /home/ec2-user/key.pem -t ec2-user@myserver.com 'sudo /opt/lucee/lucee_ctl start'
* Starting Lucee: . . . [DONE]
--------------------------------------------------------
It may take a few moments for Lucee to start processing
CFML templates. This is normal.

No one has tried to do this?
you’re running very old versions of java and tomcat, which version of lucee are you running?
does the problem occur with the latest stable release?
I am in the class of if it isn’t broken don’t fix it, but I guess in this case I’ll need to spin up a new server to test it out. I was just hoping to get it fixed on the current server. I’ll spin up a new instance when I get time.
Newest Version of Lucee works. So I guess there is no hope of correcting it for my version. I’ll just work on upgrading and testing my application on the newer version at least for this part of the application.
