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.

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.

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 &
