How do I prevent my web browser from opening on hawtio startup?

I start hawtio in a Windows command shell like so...

java -jar hawtio-app-1.4.59.jar

...however, when it is about to complete its initialisation, Internet Explorer opens on my Windows PC with the hawtio welcome page http://localhost:8080/hawtio/welcome.

How do I tell hawtio to not open a browser on startup?

Thanks

Solution

  • You can run the jar with --help option where it outputs what commands it takes.

    But we should add an option to not open the browser, so you can turn that off. I logged a ticket: https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/issues/2095

    So currently you cannot but when that ticket is implement then you can turn if off.

    update

    I found that we added a JVM system property you can use to turn it off,

    So you can run with

    java -jar hawtio-app-1.4.59.jar -Dhawtio.openUrl=false

    But we would still add a nice option as well.
