Never is an awfully long time :-) If you wait about 60 seconds, the command you gave calling (future 1) does terminate, at least on Mac OS X 10.8.5 where I tested it, and I have seen the same behavior on Linux and I think Windows.
This version terminates much more quickly: java -jar clojure-1.6.0.jar -e "(future 1) (shutdown-agents)" There is some discussion of this issue at the ClojureDocs page for the function 'future', including that this issue affects pmap and clojure.java.shell/sh, too, because are both implemented using futures: http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/future It also includes a link to a Clojure ticket suggesting that this behavior change. You can vote on it if you like (requires a Clojure JIRA account, which you can create by clicking on the "Log In" link near the top right of the page): http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-124 Andy On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Serzh Nechyporchuk <nechyporc...@gmail.com > wrote: > Hello.
