Robert Scholte commented on MEXEC-109:
--------------------------------------
I don't like the idea that the process is killed because the Maven process ends.
There should be a cleaner way. As you already suggested yourself: introduce a
shutdown hook.
I'm thinking of 2 new goals: {{start}} and {{stop}}
Would be nice if you could rewrite your patch.

> Hi guys,
> The topic of fork exec (aka background process) has been raised few times
> here however there is still no such functionality in the trunk. Therefore I
> created patch (plus tests) for the trunk that provides the basic version of
> that feature.
> My proposal is to add <fork> option to the configuration:
> <configuration>
> <fork>true</fork>
> <executable>/opt/bin/myLongRunningProcess</executable>
> </configuration>
> The background process is automatically killed when the Maven JVM exists. In
> the future we could add an additional shutdown hooks (on given Maven phase
> for example).
> This patch saved my life in few projects with heavy exec-related integration
> :) . Could somebody take a look at it and (hopefully) add it to the trunk?
> Running the process in the background is essential for many people and we
> just need in the trunk.
> Kind regards.
> PS I'm attaching both regular and reverse patch.
