{bb} RE: {bb} RE: {bb} runbb.sh stopÂÂ - fails with"kill: no such process"

["Strandell, Ralf" <Ralf.Strandell@silja.com>]

Do you have anything like this in runbb.sh:

$PS | $GREP $BBHOME | $GREP -v grep > $some_temporary_file ? 

and later something like this:

$CAT $some_temporary_file | while ... set $line ... $KILL $2 ?

If you have, then the list of BB-processes is generated on the fly.
Some processes might die before you have time to kill them (esp. sleeps)...


Add this to the $CAT -line:
	| grep -v "sleep [0-9]" |
and at least the sleeps cause no trouble anymore.


You could also use
	kill -9 $2 >/dev/null 2>&1 
and live happily ever after.

Hello

Me once again, with some more information about the problem...

i checked the tmp/BBPID file, it seems correct to me, th two processes are really running.

but stop fails anyway.

after that i have to perform bbrun.sh stop three!!! times to have a successfull stop.

thx a lot
