[Webware-discuss] ThreadedAppServer hangs

[Jeff J. <je...@je...>]

Hi,

I've been running WebKit on Windows 2000 for months with no problems
restarting it but on FreeBSD it's a major pain in the butt.  When I
Ctrl-C it, and restart, the socket connection on the new instance
fails saying that it is already in use and then _hangs_ at sys.exit()
instead of exiting.  I commented out the sys.exit() line for normal
exits and now I can Ctrl-C, restart with no problems as long as the
first instance of WebKit was shutdown.  Is sys.exit() killing python
before it gets a chance to close sockets?

Then there is the other major problem on FreeBSD: why does it hang
when you try to start a second instance instead of reporting that the
port is already in use and gracefully exiting?

These hangs require "kill -9" which I really try to avoid.  Yesterday
WebKit used up all the file handles on the OS and I had to close one
of my ssh windows to free up enough resources to even run "ps" to find
and kill it.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Jeff
