#1 Stopping GavaMail

[Shaun McDonald]

Is there a specific way of stopping GavaMail, other than control+C
in the terminal? One problem is that all java processes generally
have the process name of "java", thus it causes a problem in trying
to stop it.

I dont know if you can do this on a MAC OS but on Linux, I
usually do a ps -ef | grep java, gind the process PID no.
for gavamail and do a kill -9.
I know this is a very bad way of doing things...I will try
to add a shutdown method in the next release.

Point of note Mac OS X is very similar to Unix under the hood.

This is how Apple stop Xgrid:
---
StopService ()
{
if pid=$(GetPID GridServer); then
ConsoleMessage "Stopping Xgrid Server"
kill -TERM "${pid}"
else
ConsoleMessage "Xgrid Server not responding."
fi
}
---

So it looks as though it could be fairly similar.

Also another problem this causes, is when I have another java process
running. Either the wrong process gets killed or they both do. This
wouldn't be too productive, would it now?

Thanks.
