![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Symptom1: An administration server fails to terminate an application server before starting another application server. Symptom2: WSCP ApplicationServer stop and stop -force sometimes fails to terminate an application serverLocal fix Kill the application server process manually with kill -9Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When user tries to stop an * * application server via admin console, * * wscp, or XMLConfig, sometimes the * * application server process continues * * to run. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When user stops an application server via any of the WebSphere client programs, WebSphere reports that the application is stopped but looking at the process table of the system (e.g., "ps -ef"), the process remains active.Problem conclusion Changed the code so that process is terminated with SIGKILL. Original code did something like: if (kill(app server pid, SIGTERM)!= 0) { . . . kill(app server pid, SIGKILL); Problem was that return code of "0" from kill() does not mean that target process is terminated - only that target pid exists, user has permission to send signal to target process, and signal number is valid.Temporary fix Temporary fix available in cumulative system management eFixes dated 20Dec02 or later.Comments
