Description

After upgrading from version 5.15.7 to 5.16.3 the broker no longer stops on command.

Step-by-step:

• tar zxf apache-activemq-5.16.3-bin.tar.gz
• cd apache-activemq-5.16.3
• vi bin/env
  • Set: ACTIVEMQ_USER="<current_user>"
• sudo bin/activemq start
• sudo bin/activemq stop

The "sudo" part is important. In our prod system we run this script as root so that is can change the user to $ACTIVEMQ_USER.

Output from start command:

INFO: Loading '/home/hakjo/Downloads/apache-activemq-5.16.3//bin/env'
