James Green created AMQ-5733:
--------------------------------
Summary: kill -9 always results in failure signal
Key: AMQ-5733
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5733
Project: ActiveMQ
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Distribution
Affects Versions: 5.11.1
Reporter: James Green
Using https://github.com/rgevaert/activemq2deb I am trying to distribute
upgrades to our fleet. This results in failure each time.
Looking into the matter the activemq script tries to stop the broker via JMX.
This is not configured, so fails.
It falls back to issuing "kill -9 <PID>" then immediately exits with code 1.
This code 1 causes the packaging script to bail and thus we end up with a mess.
A possible solution is to return the "kill" command's own result. This doesn't
necessarily reflect whether "kill" succeeded in terminating the PID however.
A second possible solution is to detect the presence of 'start-stop-daemon' and
use this in preference. Narrows down the cases in which it does not work at
least.
I am of the opinion that a script aiming of cross-platform compatibility is
probably never going to work completely so detecting and making use of
per-system tooling is probably best long term, meantime would returning
"kill's" exit code help?
