Hi We are running SM 5.1.1 with around 45 routes. This in on Redhat 6.5.
The configuration is "out of the box", so using inbuilt ActiveMQ, 5.10, camel 2.13.2 etc. When we come to shut down ServiceMix from command line, with /opt/apache-servicemix-5.1.1/bin/stop the command takes a couple of seconds to complete, but when we look at the process running, with ps aux, I see ServiceMix still running. $ ps aux |grep sermix sermix 2350 0.4 11.8 5131980 466660 ?

I think it's because the ActiveMQ is still running/trying to clear message queues, but can someone perhaps give us some help with identifying why it takes so long to shutdown. We used to use the Wrapper to manage the SM start/stop, (stopped as this wouldn't let us start with >4Gb RAM allocation) and this used to give the message "Stopping Karaf" every 10 seconds or so, until the process had stopped. This still isn't optimum and I can't believe that it would take 20 minutes to shutdown! Any thoughts? Cheers James Oxford University Press (UK) Disclaimer This message is confidential.
