Re: Karaf child instances

[Ryan Moquin <fr...@gmail.com>]

Thanks, JB.  What I want to accomplish is to have a script that I can run
from the root instance which will stop a child instance if it's running,
destroy it, create a new child, provision it with a new version...  I
created a script to basically do this from the karaf shell, but ran into a
problem.  The first is that the SSH session always terminates when trying
to use the instance command to connect to a child and run a command (I also
seem to have to delete the known_hosts entry for that port in known_hosts
to get around the host key having changed when trying to connect as well.)

After I figure that out, I just need to figure out how to properly manage
the child instance starting and stopping if the server gets rebooted.  I'm
guessing that it gets installed as a service and I'd need to remove and
ready the service for the child each time?  Or maybe can have the service
use the newly created service automatically.....
