JMeter - The JVM should have exited but did not

Question

I have a script which does the following:

Script executes fine in GUI mode:

jmeter -q C:/Users/503289283/Downloads/eml_base.properties -t Service_Names.jmx

When executed in Non-GUI mode i.e.

jmeter -q C:/Users/503289283/Downloads/eml_base.properties -n -t Service_Names.jmx

We receive the below message:

Have added an entry in the log4j2.xml file. Restarted JMeter.

Executed the script again in Non-GUI mode. Still see the same message. Didn't find anything suspicious in the log file.

Not sure where is the issue. Please help.

Regards, Ajith

Script executes fine in GUI mode:

jmeter -q C:/Users/503289283/Downloads/eml_base.properties -t Service_Names.jmx

it doesn't mean that the "script executes fine", it means that you're just opening Service_Names.jmx test plan in JMeter GUI, the script is being "executed" when you click this button:

Or press CTRL+R

Your test cannot be finished successfully (in fact there are no successful Sample Results) because SSH Command sampler is still waiting for the response from the SSH server.

I don't know what eml status command does and how does the output look like,try running it via new instance of Bash (or whatever is your shell) interpreter as:

/bin/bash -c "eml status"

If the command is interactive, i.e. the output never ends until you press the button, you will need to reconsider your approach.
