I have played with procrun a bit more and realized that SCM waits for at most two minutes. After that, it shows a message saying it got no response from the process and displays "stopping" as status on the service. But when the process finally ends, it shows "stopped" status (you have to manually refresh the SCM). Procrun has a parameter "StopTimeout", which "Defines the timeout in seconds that procrun waits for service to exit gracefully." What happens after the timeout period? Does procrun shut down the JVM? Thanks.

First of all, if you need to frequently start/stop service why using the service at the first place? The sole purpose of service concept is to start the application at boot mode or on demand and to start them in correct order. Then there is absolute limit which OS imposes on the service shutdown timeout, and this is for all services on the system, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q146092 So the only clean solution is that your shutdown code does the actual cleanup causing the clean exit. By spec, JVM won't exit if you have non-daemon threads running, so if you cant make them exit, then the only solution is System.exit, which calls OS process _exit() which causes the SCM to think service failed. Also you should design your application differently for service and command line mode. Procrun does not need to call the main() method. Take a look at Tomcat. We call Bootstrap start/stop methods and main() calls Bootstrap.start (after setting correct mode) Regards -- ^TM --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org
