In some situations you have to restart a WebLogic server many times to get something working. A quick and dirty way of restarting a server is to kill the process and let the Node Manager start it up again.

When you kill the process you will see this in the server.out file.

<Server failed so attempting to restart (restart count = 1)>

Second time.

<Server failed so attempting to restart (restart count = 2)>

Third time it will fail.

<Server failed but will not be restarted because the maximum number of restart attempts has been exceeded>

Default the Node Manager will only be allowed to restart a WebLogic server 2 times in a hour.

You can just change “Max Restarts Within Interval”.

java weblogic.WLST -skipWLSModuleScanning
connect(username='weblogic',password='welcome1',url='t3://wintermute:7001')

servers=cmo.getServers()
for server in servers:
  cd('/Servers/' + server.getName())
  cmo.setRestartMax(999)

save()
activate(block="true")
disconnect()
exit()

You need to restart the Admin Server before the change take effect.
