WARNING
|  |
DO NOT modify any of these parameters unless you have read this property description.
Incorrect settings can cause the Wrapper to fail to operate as expected.
|
Controls whether or not the Wrapper should ignore system signals.
If this is set to TRUE (ignore),
the Wrapper will not respond to "TERM" or "INT" signals on Unix or CTRL-C events on Windows.
Defaults to FALSE.
On Unix systems, some backup programs that run as cron jobs will
send out system wide TERM signals that can cause the Wrapper to
shutdown. These signals can be ignored by setting this property
to TRUE.
In most cases, it is not necessary or desirable to manually configure this property.
The shell script that is shipped with the Wrapper can be
configured to stop the Wrapper by using an anchor file by simply
uncommenting the IGNORE_SIGNALS
setting at the top section of the script.
This will cause the script to start and stop the Wrapper with the
wrapper.anchorfile
property enabled.
The anchor file makes it possible for the script
to cause the Wrapper to shutdown by deleting it.
The normal method is to send the Wrapper a TERM signal.
If the script is passed the 'console' command,
to run in the current shell, it will still respond to system
signals, including CTRL-C. When the 'start' command is used,
the Wrapper will be launched as a daemon process and will ignore
all INT and TERM signals. The Wrapper can then be stopped by
executing the shell script with the 'stop' command or by manually
deleting the anchor file.
On Windows, SHUTDOWN and LOGOFF events are handled normally
regardless of the value of this property. The system would kill
the application in any event should it fail to exit in a timely
manner. Note that LOGOFF events are always ignored if the
Wrapper is running as a Wiindows Service.
| Example: |
wrapper.ignore_signals=TRUE
|
If the ignore_signals property is not used in conjunction with
the wrapper.anchorfile
property, then the Wrapper will ignore system signals and not
have any way to shut it down. In such cases is it the responsibility
of the Java application to provide a mechanism for shutting down
the application. This is done by either calling
WrapperManager.stop()
or System.exit().
|
NOTE
|  |
If you are planning on setting this property manually, It is
suggested that you wait until your application's ability to
reliably shutdown on its own has been fully tested.
|
|
WARNING
|  |
If this property is set to TRUE then you will not be able to
tell the Wrapper to quit externally.
On Windows, CTRL-C will no longer function,
and on Unix systems CTRL-C
or regular kill signals will also be ignored.
This means that on UNIX, the scripts shipped with the Wrapper
will not be able to stop the JVM unless the IGNORE_SIGNALS
setting in the script was uncommented before starting the Wrapper.
On UNIX, the process can still be forcibly stopped using a
kill -9, but doing so will
kill the Wrapper but leave the JVM running. The JVM will exit
on its own after its ping timeout has expired but all console
output after the Wrapper was killed will be lost.
On Windows, the Wrapper and its JVM can be forcibly killed from
the Task Manager if the Wrapper was run as a console application.
If run as a service, the Wrapper can still be stopped normally.
|
|
NOTE
|  |
It is also possible to set this property to WRAPPER,
JAVA, or BOTH,
to control whether ignore signals functionality should be applied
to the Wrapper process, Java process, or both processes. These
values are primarily useful only for testing.
