I have a client/server application written in python/twisted and on
freebsd 5.3 the server won't shut down correctly with SIGINT or
SIGTERM, instead requiring a SIGKILL. The twist is that if I send the
server a signal, it will shut down on the next request from the
client. In that case it shuts down immediately when the client
connects and closes the connection before it's fully established.
The server will also shut down correctly if it hasn't yet accepted any
connections from a client.
This is on freebsd 5.3-release-p2 with python 2.4 and twisted both
installed from ports. I am using the default libpthreads and python
is compiled to use threads. I tested it on Debian (sarge) and the
signals work fine.
It's like there is some sort of event loop that isn't working
correctly. Freebsd is obviously getting the signal, but it doesn't
act on it until another request comes in from the client. Also for
those that aren't familiar with twisted this application opens a
thread for every request.
Below is some simple code that will run if you have twisted. Sorry I
don't have a more simple test case, but I'm fairly new to python (and
threads), and writing something from scratch would take a while.
Server (save server to test.tac and start with twistd -noy test.tac)
