Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3103: ----------------------------------- I can think of two ways to ensure that tesseract shutsdown if the parent dies. 1) only on linux, kick off tesseract with {{timeout}} 2) spawn a child java process to monitor it, which means we'd spawn two processes (prob happens w timeout too?) It looks from the source code like we could do a bit more to make sure that tesseract is killed if the parent process dies. Can anyone think of better options? > Tesseract fails to respect timeouts and clean up after itself > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-3103 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3103 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ocr > Affects Versions: 1.24.1 > Reporter: Radim Rehurek > Priority: Critical > > We're using the Tika Server with OCR: > _java -jar /opt/tika/tika-server-1.24.1.jar -p 9998 -spawnChild -JXmx500m_ > > Two undersirable things happen: > h3. 1.
