Undeploy all applications from Glassfish

Question

I need a way to undeploy all my applications from Glassfish. Normally, I would use asadmin undeploy --target=[target] [appname]" for each application. My problem is that I don't know the name of all applications that are present on the server. Is there a command that would allow me to just undeploy everything? Thanks.

Answer 1

While there isn't an 'undeploy everything' command, there is a list-applications command. This page describes list-applications and some other commands that will help you achieve your goal.

You can create a bash script like this one:

#!/bin/bash

ASADMIN=(path to Glassfish asadmin executable)

function undeploy_all {
    for p in $*; do
        echo "Undeploying $p..."
        $ASADMIN undeploy $p
    done;
}

apps=`$ASADMIN list-applications -t | awk '{print $1;}'`

undeploy_all $apps

When you run it, it will undeploy all deployed applications automatically. It needs awk. Make sure to configure the ASADMIN variable with the path to asadmin.

Hi Johny can you please tell me what is awk. – Punic

@Punic awk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language, which is used for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing. Is useful for processing the output of commands, like in the script. The book for gawk is a complete reference for learning it if you are interested. – Arianearianie
