"icegridnode --daemon" does not detach from controlling terminal?

[dstn]

Hi,

I just figured out a workaround for this problem, but I thought I'd post a note anyway for the next person to hit this...

When I run:
icegridnode --daemon [args] > logfile 2> errfile

I find that it does not fully detach from the controlling TTY - the symptom is that when you "exit" your SSH session, ssh hangs.

I redirected /dev/null to stdin and that solved this problem:
icegridnode --daemon [args] > logfile 2> errfile < /dev/null

I think "icegridnode" should close() stdin -- it doesn't read from stdin, right?

Cheers,
dustin.

PS, this is with Ice 3.3.0, SSH "OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006", on "CentOS release 5.2 (Final)" (rockscluster.org) platform.

Hi Dustin,

Thanks for the tip. We'll try to incorporate this in the next release.

Hi Dustin,

I'm afraid we were unable to reproduce this problem with a similar configuration. The IceGrid node already closes stdin and then redirects it to /dev/null unless you start it with --noclose.

Any chance this could be caused by another process?

Cheers,
Benoit.
