Interesting, a little spiking showed Java 'finally' blocks aren't run on a SIGHUP or SIGINT either, so JRuby's behaviour appears consistent with Java's. https://gist.github.com/881542ca3cca1281e959 So if SIGHUP isn't an option, what would you say is a good way to tell a long running JRuby process to stop gracefully? I've googled around a little to see how Java folks approach this and haven't found a clear/consistent answer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
