For loop exit
Below for loop not exiting. Can someone help?

Code:
JBOSS_INST_ARGS=01 02

if [ "$JBOSS_CMD_TYPE" = "start" ]; then
	for i in $JBOSS_INST_ARGS; do
			
		/u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise$i.sh start;
	done

Sound silly - but have you remembered to add a final fi to close the if statement.

Also, try using braces for $i:

/u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise${i}.sh start;

if [ "$JBOSS_CMD_TYPE" = "start" ]; then
for i in $JBOSS_INST_ARGS; do

/u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise$i.sh start;
done
fi

i missed to add fi in the post, but it contains in actual script.

Have you tried putting diagnostic echo statements in the script to see if the script gets as far as the second iteration?

/u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise$i.sh start;
What's in this script?
If it's a daemon, perhaps it needs starting as:
Code:
nohup /u/jboss-6.1.0.Final/bin/jboss_init_wise$i.sh start &

No. Its doesn't exit the loop even after the changes.

Test the loop by just calling a pwd and make sure the loop exits:

Code:
if [ "$JBOSS_CMD_TYPE" = "start" ]; then
  for i in $JBOSS_INST_ARGS; do
     pwd
  done
fi

If this succeeds, then you need to investigate the script that it is calling - is it exiting? Try running it outside the for loop and see if it hangs.
