Re: [Handle-info] Shuting down handle server

[Sean Reilly <sreilly@cnri.reston.va.us>]

Hi Sam,

More recent versions of java allow for a shutdown hook that the  
handle server uses (if available) to cleanly shut down the database  
and any open files/sockets.  This hook is called when you kill the  
handle server process via the kill command or Control-C, but not if  
you use something overly harsh such as "kill -9".  So, killing the  
handle server is safe if you are using java 1.4 or higher (a  
requirement with the latest release) and don't use the -9 signal to  
kill it.

Thanks,
Sean
