Stopping MINA based server
I am sorry, I should post this in here instead of the dev mailing list I am writing a MINA based server. I am looking for a guide lines or best practices of how to stop the server from the Linux service script (/etc/init.d/myserver). I mean: 1) should I write the process id on a file, and kill that process in the stop script? 2) should I open a socket listener to receive stop commands? how to secure that? 3) should I use IPC ? or process signalling? 4) or there is something better? please suggest

Kill -TERM should be enough. 2) should I open a socket listener to receive stop commands? how to secure that? That's another option. look at Tomcat scripts, I think it's perfect if you select this option. 3) should I use IPC ? or process signalling? Seems a bit overkilling, but I must admit I'm not really a specialist in this area. 4) or there is something better? please suggest You have wrappers, like Tanuki, which already implements such start and stop precedure, IFAIR. Hope it helps. -- -- cordialement, regards, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com directory.apache.org

It is released under GPL license, which is not viable to me! It would be ok if it is Apache or LGPL or any other commercial friendly license! --- On Sat, 10/11/08, Emmanuel Lecharny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Emmanuel Lecharny [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Stopping MINA based server To: users@mina.apache.org Date: Saturday, October 11, 2008, 7:04 PM Ahmed Al-Obaidy wrote: I am sorry, I should post this in here instead of the dev mailing list I am writing a MINA based server.

Re: Stopping MINA based server
The Apache Commons Daemon project is a good alternative in that case.
