Hi All,

Hope this is right area to ask this question.

I have a shell script (bash) "wrapper.sh", which contains few simple shell command
which executes a "server.sh" (conatins code to execute a java server) as a daemon.

Now what I want to kill this "server.sh" so that the server should get shutdown.
What could be the way to kill this "server.sh".

Will killing "wrapper.sh" will automatically kill the "server.sh"?
Or I have to kill both this process?
Or By merely killing "server.sh" will automatically shutdown the server?

Few code and concepts will definitely be appreciated.

regards,
jw

True daemons are independent of the parent.

I don't know why the parent is still running along with the "daemon", unless the daemon is not written correctly.

Anyway

Code:

kill -9 [pid of]daemon
kill -9 [pid of]wrapper

thanks jim .....

In the mean time few more clarity on this issue ..............

--------------jserver-start.sh (Wrapper)-----------------
#!/bin/sh
#jserver-start.sh
sh /usr/jdserver/bin/jserver.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
------------------------------------------------------
Also, w.r.t your comments, the "-jserver-start.sh " will get killed automatically after spawing the daemon. right?

Here, the "jserver.sh" (The actual java Server), executes few code & then execute the the Java Server's Main class.

Also, I have a service (service-jserver.sh), which I placed in /etc/init.d (to run as a startup & running finely as a daemon while startup), having a "start" function, which actually calls this Wrapper Shell script (jserver-start.sh). Also, I have a "stop" function, which kill this process, by calling another shell script "jserver-stop.sh" & has the following code:
--------------jserver-stop.sh-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#jserver-stop.sh
kill `ps -ef | grep jserver-start.sh | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
-----------------------------------------------------
Here, I would like to know which process shall I kill:
1.) The Wrapper (jserver-start.sh) Or 2.) Directly "jserver.sh" ?
But, while executing "service jserver-stop stop", it is not killing the service and the server is still running.

Any clue? Please suggest.
