Re: [Wrapper-user] wrapperKillProcess()

[Richard E. <rem...@ed...>]

Leif,

You are correct, if the JVM is really hung, then sending it a SIGTERM
will do no good.

I have a process that the wrapper manages and that process has a 
subprocess. The process has a shutdown hook which will kill the
subprocess when the process receives a SIGTERM; the process's
shutdown hooks are not invoked when it receives a SIGKILL. ...
nothing new here. What I've now done is when the wrapper
launches the process, if it detects that there is a subprocess
running (from a previous run), it will tell the old subprocess to
die before it creates its new subprocess.

For my situation this works because I have only one, well known
subprocess with a well known communication port.

Thanks,

Richard
