Hi,

I have an Equinox-based server set up as follows:

-Declipse.ignoreApp=true
-Dosgi.noShutdown=true

There exists on autostarted plugin, whose Activator sets up an Apache Camel context, which in turn uses Jetty to serve HTTP request. This architecture works fine so far.

Alas, shutting down the process properly is impossible. When I launch my server executable unter Linux, it in turn spawns a JVM:

server
\--- java -jar ...launcher...jar ...

Due to this structure, I have only (through the shell's $! variable) access to the server binaries process ID.

What am I doing wrong?

But doing a kill $PID_OF_SERVER does not shutdown the JVM; it only terminates the server launcher.
