prunsrv does not propagate exit code
------------------------------------
Key: DAEMON-244
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-244
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Procrun
Affects Versions: 1.0.10
Environment: MS Windows
Reporter: Peter Ehrbar
In order to perform recovery actions (e.g. restart service) the Windows Service
Controller needs to detect abnormal program terminations (failures). The
Service controller detects a failure if either the service process crashes or
the process terminates with a non-zero exit code.
For my Java server application I want to define recovery actions for the
following conditions:
1) VM crash
2) Error was thrown (e.g. OutOfMemoryError)
3) System.exit() with non-zero exit code
When using prunsrv as a wrapper, I observe the following behaviour:
1) VM crash is detected only when StartMode=jvm, otherwise the Service
Controller ignores the failure situation
2) When an Error is thrown and StartMode=jvm, prunsrv does not terminate but
seems to hang. Therefore, the Service Controller is not aware of the failure.
For other StartModes, prunsrv terminates, but the Service Controller does not
detect the failure.
3) When System.exit(42) is called, prunsrv terminates but the Service
Controller does not detect the non-zero exit code. This applies for all
StartModes.
It seems to me as if prunsrv always terminates with exit code zero. But I
expect the following behaviour:
1) VM crash with StartMode=jvm -> OK as it is now, but with other StartModes,
prunsrv should terminate with a non-zero exit code in order to indicate the
abnormal termination.
2) When an Error is thrown, prunsrv should terminate with a non-zero exit code
in order to indicate the abnormal termination.
3) When System.exit() is called, prunsrv should terminate with the exit code
passed to System.exit() (transparent behaviour), in order to let the
application indicate a failure situation.
With the current behaviour, it is not possible to let the Windows Service
Controller perform recovery actions.
