have restart clean command/API
------------------------------
Key: FELIX-1316
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1316
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Karaf
Reporter: james strachan
in development its very common to want to trash the data directory, stop karaf
then start again. Its kinda painful.
it'd be good to do this in a single command.
{code}
restart:clean
{code}
which would move the ./data directory somewhere (into an old directory, maybe
numbered so you've a history of logs etc) and then doing a
System.exit(something) such that the shell script knows its a restart, where
the shell script could then restart the JVM again.
I can imagine this being useful in distributed testing/production uses where
you want to basically restart a server from scratch so it might fetch new
bundles on startup etc (without worrying about old stuff being stuck in the
JVM).
I guess restarting is one thing - and restarting clean (with the data directory
going) is a secondary optional extra
