Sending HUP signal to eclipse process [message #334877] Thu, 05 March 2009 18:26 Go to next message

I was hoping that sending a HUP signal to the eclipse process would
result in the application to exist gracefully.

Having tried this, the workbench exists without prompting the user for
confirmation and query to save open files as it normally does when the
user attempts to close the workbench window.

What is happening here? Is eclipse process exiting gracefully or is the
HUP signal treated the same as the KILL signal?

Is there an option to change the current behavior?

Thanks.

Since I have not received any responses yet, please let me rephrase my
question.

I am launching an eclipse application from another application. When the
parent application exits, the eclipse application is terminated without
having a chance to save changes and exit gracefully.

Is it possible to send some kind of signal from the parent application
to the eclipse application that it should terminate.

Thanks.
Amir
