Create a new file /etc/init.d/service-name which is a symlink to /etc/init.d/jbossas, e.g:

ln -s /etc/init.d/jbossas /etc/init.d/jbossas-instance2

Create a new config file for service-name, /etc/sysconfig/service-name with instance specific values uncommented and updated , e.g:

cp /etc/sysconfig/jbossas /etc/sysconfig/jbossas-instance2. Uncomment and update JBOSSCONF to instance2. Create a new variable JBOSS_IP and set it to another IP address in /etc/sysconfig/jbossas-instance2

Then add service-name for management by chkconfig, e.g:

chkconfig --add jbossas-instance2

To start/stop the service, simply: service service-name start/stop, e.g:

service jbossas-instance2 start
