Hi, A long time ago I was a mentor of this project, and now I am actually using it in $dayjob application. What goes around, comes around... ;-)
The deployment is happening on Linux 'devices' and we need to support that the ACE Targets are shutdown via Linux SIGINT (Ctrl-C), i.e. we need a JVM shutdown hook that do framework.stop(). Fairly simple... It seems logical that this functionality is part of ACE itself, and I am adding this at the moment. There are 3 choices on this, and I would appreciate your thoughts; 1. The shutdown hook is always present, 2. It is enabled via command-line arguments, 3. It is enabled via launcher.properties. which route should be taken? I would also like to contribute this back, a. I have mostly forgotten how to submit patches with SVN, but recall that there were often issue with it. Is there a page explaining the exact details? b. We will also make a Linux daemon shell that starts and stops agents, and in the stop it will both issue the SIGINT and if the process isn't dying 'soon enough', a SIGKILL will be issued to ensure death and destruction. Is ACE community interested in making such script part of the the 'target' ? Or will that forever remain the responsibility of the user to put together?
