             Summary: ambari-server stop kills parent process
                 Key: AMBARI-12238
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12238
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.1.0
            Reporter: Greg Hill


When you do ambari-server stop inside a script, it kills the calling script as 
well.  This is because ambari-server stop kills the entire process group, but 
ambari-server start does not detach itself from the parent process.

'stop' kills the whole process group:

'start' does not detach from its parent:

https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-server/src/main/python/ambari_server_main.py#L276

If you add an os.setsid() call to the start process, I think that would fix the 
bug, but more research/testing is needed:
