[Exist-open] Incomplete shutdown of eXist 6.2 service

[Lizzi, V. <Vin...@ta...>]

Hello eXist community,

For a while now I've been getting an error message when trying to stop the Windows service for eXist-db. After upgrading to eXist-db version 6.2.0 this problem is still occurring. Here is what typically happens:


  1.  Stop the service for eXist-db using the Windows Services panel.
  2.  Wait for the progress bar. When the progress bar is nearly complete an error message appears saying that the service did not respond in a timely manner. The service status remains as "Stopping".
  3.  The log file exist.log contains messages "shutdown complete !", "Database shutdown: stopping server in 1sec", "Jetty server stopped"
  4.  Windows Task Manager shows that "Apache Commons Daemon Service Runner" is still running.
  5.  In eXist's "data" folder the dbx_dir.lck and journal.lck files are sometimes still present or sometimes have been removed. A *.log file is usually still present.

I have to manually kill the process using Task Manager before the service can be started again. If the *.lck files are still present I delete them manually.

There does not appear to be any indication in the logs about why the process is not exiting completely. This problem begins occurring after I import documents to eXist-db. On a completely fresh install of eXist-db the process shuts down completely.

Here are some details about the environment:

eXist Version:     6.2.0
eXist Build:          2023-02-04T22:42:29Z
Operating System:           Windows Server 2012 R2 6.3 amd64
Java Version:      11.0.18

Is there any way to resolve this problem or find out more about why it is happening?

Thanks,
Vincent
