How to do graceful exit from James server
Hi Norman,
We are starting James server from the command line for logging and
debugging purposes. How could I gracefully exit the process? It seems to
be hanging for a long time when I do Ctrl+C.
Thanks,
Ekaterina.

You can use the service wrapper that comes with James to
run it as a Windows service. You can then use net start/stop
to start and stop the service.
If you prefer to run it from the command line, a slightly
more graceful way to kill it is to telnet to the remote
manager and issue the "shutdown" command. I don't think
technically though that's a big difference, but we would have
to ask the developers.

Hi,
To use "james start", you need to build from trunk.
It will generate a wrapper that can launch james as a service.
I use that on linux and it works pretty well, but didn't try on windows.
What do you call "long time"? what is the log saying?
Tks,
Eric

The same answer really, I think startup script is available in trunk, it is
called James.bat(Windows) James(Unix). I assume this is a startup script for
Windows. Wich will allow to gracefully start,stop and restart James service.
Norman will correct myself if I am wrong.

Yes, thanks for reply.
We will be eventually using it on Unix machine, at at this point, we are
running under Windows environment. That is where I am really hoping to
see if there is more graceful way of exiting other than killing through
the task manager or Ctrl+C (which hangs for a long time).

Hi Ekaterina,
I know you are asking Norman, but I am the one who faced the same problem
recently, there are two possible solutions to that, first to run a starting
script in a background:
*./run.sh > /path/to/james/log/james.log &*
*
*
*In this case you'll need to manually kill the process which is not a good
solution sometimes.*
*
*
*This is the easiest way, the second way is a special startup script which
will allow you to start it Red hat style, like*
*
*
*james start*
*
*
*I think if you use most recent trunk, Norman and the rest of the team
embedded script which is called James which will start James as a normal
application. This script is located in path/to/james/trunk/bin/james*
*
*
*Hope it will help you.*
