Hello,

I have a question about what happens if one kills a shell:

- I have a java console application that acts as a server

- This application starts another application (pgp-keyserver OpenLDAP slapd) using the shell-command with timeout set to -1

- Before stopping the main java-application, I want to stop the pgp-keyserver OpenLDAP slapd using shell.killprocess

All that stuff seems to work but I'm not completely satisfied with it: when shell.killproces, is that causing a terminate signal to be sended to the process running in the shell giving that process the chance to close all recources or is it just a plain and simple "kill"?

For this application is important because not properly stopping slapd might cause problems with the database.

Many thanks for any information about this subject
