Re: AW: [Wrapper-user] Problems stopping the wrapper

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Luis,
    What is the error that you are seeing while stopping the service?  
The "net stop app"
command will time out if the app takes a while to shutdown.
If you use "wrapper -p wrapper.conf" to stop the service, you will not 
have this problem.

    You mentioned the pid.  You can actually do this under windows, it 
is just not on by
default.   Take a look at the wrapper.pidfile and wrapper.java.pidfile 
properties.  The
later will give you a pid file for the actual JVM.

    Version 3.2.0 will contain several new ways to test the status of a 
service and also
includes several new status files.

Cheers,
Leif

Do you know a possibility how i can prevent the service to be started if the service is still in status Stop Pending?

Normally this is not an big problem if we restart our application but it is if we restart the application using our liveupdate functionality. In this case the Liveupdate (a process which stops the application, updates the system and restart the application) is finished to fast and while trying to start the wrapper we receive the error message "The ipex scheduler service service is already running with status: STOP_PENDING" and the application is not started.
