Old Gshell sample causing issues with setting Java Memory options
I've been getting strange errors when trying to change the amount of memory
available to my instance of geronimo that I have launched through gshell.
After some digging, I found that what I believe is an old sample that was
left in the etc/rc.d/ directory (start-server,default.groovy) is setting the
max heap size to 512m. This causes issues as it overrides whatever the user
provides on the command line. Meaning if I try to issue the command
"geronimo/start-server -J -Xmx1024m -J -Xms1024m" I would get an
incompatible initial and maximum heap size error because the rc.d file is
overwriting my command options and setting maximum heap size to 512m. I
fixed this by deleting the file in the rc.d directory. Does anyone know
where this file comes from? I assume it gets added in somehow during build
time. I'll have to look and see if I can find where. In the meantime, I'll
open an issue for this.

Agree, that whatever override options the user supplies to GShell should
always win over what is in the rc.d file.

I thought about this a little bit more and think that the way we handle this
scripts is a little wrong. By this I mean that I think whatever is put on
the command line should overwrite what is in the script. I haven't looked
at the code for this, so I'm not sure how difficult of a change that would
be.
Thanks,

Editing it isn't an issue, and deleting probably was a little bit of an
extreme idea. Is this documented anywhere, though? I don't think it's
obvious to check for this wholly geronimo specific file to figure out why
you are having issues setting max heap size. I couldn't find any
documentation on it. Maybe I'll add some myself if it doesn't exist. ;)

I use it every day to remind me how to set up debugging. I will be
extremely unhappy if it goes away. I also think the server may not
run well with a smaller heap.
can you edit your settings into this file instead of removing it? I
find that much more convenient than trying to remember a long command
line.
thanks

I found where the file is, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. My
vote would go towards just removing it, but I'm sure it was put there with a
purpose to begin with. Anyone have objections to removing it or any other
ideas as to what to do with it?
