Environment

apache karaf 2.3.2 running on RedHat vmware. (OS : Linux 6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 10 22:19:54 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Description

Here is the following steps we do –
1- Running karaf with root instance name (Say - "base")
2- Create 2 instances using "admin:create instance" (Say - "child1", "child2")
3- We do monitor the list of instances running using "admin:list" or "admin list"

We have noticed that instance.properties, two config files for each instance(org.apache.karaf.management.cfg and org.apache.karaf.shell.cfg) are getting recreated once we run "admin:list" or "admin list" command.

Sometime files are truncated to zero size or files have incomlete contents after the reboot.
Also, we have seen the similar issue when we do kill the "admin list" command abnormally using ^C.
