Bug#417562: More info on bug 417562 requested

bts tag 417562 +moreinfo
severity 417562 minor
thanks

I've looked into adding a configuration option so the init script will
do a hard kill after a timeout, but I'm not convinced this bug is valid.
I talked to an admin of a large cyrus install who says their imaps just
drop on close, and I've looked through the source. The init script will
send cyrmaster a SIGTERM, at which point it passes a SIGTERM through to
all the children. The children do have a graceful shutdown routine, but
it's invoked on SIGQUIT and not SIGTERM, therefore they should just die
immediately.

Can you please provide straces of the running processes that refuse to
die so that this bug can be fixed?

Until the bug is confirmed, I'm going to drop it's severity to minor.

On an unrelated note, you'll be happy to note that the behavior your
mentioned at the end of your mail (the reload causing breakage) has been
fixed.

Thanks,
Benjamin
