How to get interface address

The attribute for interface is named "resolved-address". It's a runtime attribute so it does not show up in :read-resource by default. You have to add the "include-runtime" parameter.

It's similar for domain, just specify path to server instance:

Runtime

Get all configuration and runtime details from CLI

Scripting

Windows and "Press any key to continue ..." issue

WildFly 8 scripts for Windows end with "Press any key to continue ...". This behavior is useful when script is executed by double clicking the script but not when you need to invoke several commands from custom script (e.g. 'bin/jboss-admin.bat --connect command=:shutdown').

To avoid "Press any key to continue ..." message you need to specify NOPAUSE variable. Call 'set NOPAUSE=true' in command line before running any WildFly 8 .bat script or include it in your custom script before invoking scripts from WildFly 8.
