------------------------------------------

             Summary: Windows - better communication on start-up failure
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7503
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7503
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Joshua McKenzie
            Assignee: Ala' Alkhaldi
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1.0


The Windows launch scripts report successful launch on certain failure conditions.  For instance, if you try to start a 2nd instance of Cassandra and it fails to bind to the JMX port:

{code:title=silent failure}
D:\src\cassandra\bin>cassandra.bat
Detected powershell execution permissions.  Running with enhanced startup scripts.
Setting up Cassandra environment
Starting cassandra server
Started cassandra successfully with pid: 6520
{code}

{code:title=-f failure}
D:\src\cassandra\bin>cassandra.bat -f
Detected powershell execution permissions.  Running with enhanced startup scripts.
Setting up Cassandra environment
Starting cassandra server
Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 7199; nested exception is:
        java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
{code}

Reference CASSANDRA-7254 for linux-based solution to a similar NPE on startup due to duplicate JMX port-bind.
