FreeKB - How to start or stop a Mule application server on Linux

The Mule command line tool can be used to start and stop a Mule application server. In this example, appServer1 is started.

${mule_home}/appServer1/bin/mule start

When the application server begins it's startup sequence, the following block will be displayed in the mule_ee.log.
