Stopping a build engine

With the Jazz server itself there are stop and start scripts. Not for
the jbe though. Is kill -2 really the only option (actually that doesn't
usually work so I have to resort to -9).

Any thoughts about providing a stop script?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
we're doing the same here (kill)

Here's our startup /stopping script for the RTC Build engine: we're running it on RedHat

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides: Rational Team Concert Build System

# Required-Start: $network

# Required-Stop: $network

# Default-Start: 2 3 5

# Description: Rational Team Concert Build System

### END INIT INFO



JBE_LOGFILE=jbe.out



case "$1" in

'start')

        export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_15/

        export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

        cd /opt/IBM/TeamConcertBuild/buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse

        if [ -e $JBE_LOGFILE ]

        then

                mv $JBE_LOGFILE $JBE_LOGFILE.old

        fi

        echo "Starting jbe process. stdout/stderr redirected to $JBE_LOGFILE"

        nohup ./jbe -repository https://jazzserver/jazz -engineId buildengine3 -userId builder.jazz3 -passwordFile /opt/IBM/TeamConcertBuild/buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse/pass.txt -sleeptime 1 >$JBE_LOGFILE 2>&1 &

        ;;



'stop')

        echo "Killing jbe processes:" $(ps -C jbe -o pid=)

        ps -C jbe -o pid= | xargs kill

        ;;



'restart')

        $0 stop

        sleep 5

        $0 start

        ;;

*)

        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"

        ;;

esac

exit 0

Will the RTC Development team implement another solution for this one?
Thanks,

Adil,

I am checking with dev on this.

Hi all,

Here is the update from our development:
"No, we don't provide our own mechanism for stopping a build engine. We assume users will use the OS means for doing so, e.g. the kill command on Unix, or sending Ctrl+C to the console window running jbe on Windows.
If they require an out-of-the-box solution for this, please ask them to open an enhancement request."

If you are going to submit an enhancement, please make sure to tag it with "manbeta2".

Thanks!

There is a workitem for this (54073).
I'll "refresh" it, to get it back in the queue ...

Cheers,
Geoff

Geoff, thanks. Sorry for not responding sooner, I just got back from
vacation.
