Hi all, It seems like there should be a simple solution to my problem. Occasionally the device with our software (deployed within Felix framework) is shut off when it is in the middle of restarting a bundle. If this happens, then when everything is restarted that bundle my be in an "installed", rather than "active", state.
We don't have any bundles installed that we don't want started whenever the framework starts. But we do need to use the bundle cache, so we can't wipe it out and start from scratch each time. So, is there any way of telling Felix at startup that all installed bundles should be started, even if they weren't running before? I didn't see anything obvious at: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-usage-documentation.html#ApacheFelixFrameworkUsageDocumentation-configuringframework On a related note, especially if there is no solution to the above, has anybody figured out a good way to issue framework commands from outside the framework? For instance, if I have the external telnet port set up (where framework prompt is available via telnet), then I can issue framework commands via a script that connects over telnet. But telnet isn't installed on the host device, so this only works from a computer on the network. I'd be very interested in another way of doing this that doesn't require a telnet program. If I have to, I'll try writing a c program to communicate over tcp/ip to the telnet port, but I'm hoping for a cleaner solution. So, problem 1) start Felix and force all installed bundles to start, no matter where they left off. Problem 2) issue framework command to a running Felix framework from the same host device.
