Cannot get admin Server to start from nmStart

Question

I can not get the server to start and am lost on why:
Here is the error in AdminServer.out

Enter username to boot WebLogic server: Error Failed to get value from Standard Input <---- why is this happening.

Any pointers to know what to look for..

Hi
1. Looking carefully at the following 3 lines in server statup logs, after 2:20:39 PM GST, server waited like for 16 mts like 2:36:43 and invoked the Force Shutdown. Possible reasons I gave below.
####<Feb 14, 2010 2:20:37 PM GST> <Info> <netuix> <ePIMSEDMS2> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <1266142837729> <BEA-423101> <[console] Initializing the NetUIx container>

Classifications functionality not enabled.>
####<Feb 14, 2010 2:36:43 PM GST> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <ePIMSEDMS2> <AdminServer> <Thread-1> <<WLS Kernel>> <1266143803604> <BEA-000388> <JVM called WLS shutdown hook. The server will force shutdown now>
2. Since you mentioned this worked fine and nothing else is changed over a year, the possible cause may be like this. Looks like you have some Documentum stuff (or webapp or modules) loaded on this server. I am not much familiar with EMC Documentum stuff, except that we use that as external Content Management repository for Portal Applications. Looking at the full thread dump for thread 0, looks like documentum code is trying to publish something or interact with its documentum server and may be it is not getting the response back. So make sure if any external systems that this WLS interacts are all up and running.
