Re: [AOLSERVER] AOLserver 4.5.0 on windows not exiting service

[Jim Davidson]

Hi,

I don't think you lose anything -- Tcl_Finalize carefully tears  
everything down which is good when the code is used in an embedded  
system but in AOLserver as a normal process on Unix or Windows the  
resulting _exit doesn't care about all the work Tcl_Finalize may have  
done.

     */

    NsRemovePidFile(procname);
    StatusMsg(3);
    Tcl_Finalize();
    return 0;

The pidfile is getting removed, and the status message is showing  
up, so I figured it had something to do with the Tcl_Finalize.  I  
commented that out and recompiled and the service exits fine.  My  
question now is what do I lose by not calling Tcl_Finalize?

I’ve installed the binaries from http://www.friendlybits.com/en/inf_tec_en/win32openacs_en/ 
 and even recompiled a couple small patches in and it runs fine.   
The only issue now is when I install it as a service (with –I) I  
can’t get the service to stop.  I get this in the log file:

The nsd.exe process doesn’t ever terminate so the services manager  
never views the service as having stopped.  If I kill the process  
manually, it can come back up again cleanly, but I’d like to not  
have to do that.
