Indeed, mldonkey should start as a daemon (with a -no-daemon when we want 
output on the console), and we should have a 'log' command to redirect the 
output when needed. Put on the TODO list.

Summary:  cannot "kill" core on MDK 8.1

Original Submission:  Hello,
from time to time, my freshly installed v2.00 of mlDonkey cannot be "kill"ed 
via telnet. Not even a "killall mldonkey" issued via commandline works. I have 
to reboot in order to shut down mlDonkey.

do NEVER EVER use kill -9 on mldonkey. Try this script instead:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    start)
        if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof mldonkey`" ]; then
                echo "mlDonkey already running.."
        else
                cd /home/donkey/mldonkey/build
                nice -10 ./mldonkey >/dev/null 2>errlog &
                echo "mlDonkey started.."
        fi
        ;;

    stop)
        if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof mldonkey`" ]; then
                kill -INT `/sbin/pidof mldonkey`
                echo -n "mlDonkey contacted .. "
                while [ -n "`/sbin/pidof mldonkey`" ]; do
                        sleep 2
                        echo -n "."
                done
                echo "stopped."
        else
                echo
                echo "No mlDonkey found to kill."
        fi
        ;;

    restart)
        $0 stop && $0 start
        ;;

    status)
        echo -n "Checking mldonkey: "
        checkproc /home/donkey/mldonkey/build/mldonkey && echo OK || echo No 
process
        ;;

    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 1
        ;;

esac

Well, kill -9 works, but I'm afraid of choosing this as my shutdown method for 
ml because I don't know what happens with running downloads and/or not written 
data. Also there are some *.tmp files left from time to time when -9'ing which 
leads to an error when ml is started the next time.
I'll try to redirect the Output, thx for the hint.

I guess mldonkey shutdown in stopped because of a Exception("Sys I/O error") 
(sp?) because it can't write some message to STDERR.
Do not close the terminal it's running from, or redirect STDOUT and STDERR to a 
file (or /dev/null):

nohup ./mldonkey >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
