Kirk Lund commented on GEODE-2594: ---------------------------------- I have added the "docs" component because this change requires additional changes to Apache Geode documentation: * remove tools.jar from anything (such as any instructions about adding it to the classpath) * remove tools.jar from example output from start/status/stop commands * deprecate use of --pid option in status locator, status server, stop locator, and stop server -- "Deprecated: Since Geode1.2. Requires the JDK tools.jar which is not included on the classpath by default. Use --dir instead" has been added to the output of gfsh help of these command options > Remove optional usage of Attach API > ----------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-2594 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2594 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: docs, gfsh > Reporter: Kirk Lund > Assignee: Kirk Lund > Labels: StartCommand, StatusCommand, StopCommand, gfsh > > This is a request to remove our optional usage of Attach API. > Users keep running into issues caused by GFSH using the Attach API. If the > user kills a GemFire process that was started by GFSH, the Attach API leaves > a java_pid file in /tmp which prevents the Attach API from working with any > future JVMs that reuse that pid. Most users also want to use a JRE without > the tools.jar. > The only functionality that will be removed is status and stop command > support for --pid option. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
