How do I know which JBoss version I have?

Answer

To find out which JBoss version is currently installed on your Aleph server, perform the following steps:

1.
cd /exlibris/aleph/a20_n/ng/aleph/home/system/thirdparty/openserver/lib

2.
cp jboss-system.jar /tmp

3.
cd /tmp

4.
unzip jboss-system.jar
