Ice-3.1 : Ice::SyscallException deactivating server

Hello i have a prolem with Ice-3.1 when try to deactive a server from icegridamin consolte tool.

i run this command to stop a server

pepone@localhost ~/hydra/etc/linux $ icegridadmin --Ice.Config=config.icegridadmin
Ice 3.1.0  Copyright 2003-2006 ZeroC, Inc.
>>> server state titanio-Oo4uWebService
active (pid = 8651, enabled)
>>> server stop titanio-Oo4uWebService
//here  icegridamin don't respond more no timeout no error 

In icegridnode error log i view this exception

[ /opt/Ice-3.1.0/bin/icegridnode: Server: changed server `titanio-Oo4uWebService' state to `Deactivating' ]
[ /opt/Ice-3.1.0/bin/icegridnode: Activator: deactivating `titanio-Oo4uWebService' using process proxy ]
[ /opt/Ice-3.1.0/bin/icegridnode: Adapter: server `titanio-Oo4uWebService' adapter `titanio-Oo4uWebService.Oo4uWebService.Oo4uWebService' deactivated ]
/opt/Ice-3.1.0/bin/icegridnode: error: exception in process termination listener:
Activator.cpp:1312: Ice::SyscallException:
syscall exception: No child processes

Why i received this exception in icegridnode any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

Are you by any chance using an old Linux distribution with LinuxThreads? We removed a workaround for LinuxThreads which could cause this behavior. Please, specify which Linux distribution and version you're using.

Cheers,
Benoit.

HI beniot

The machine with i testing is gentoo linux with glibc-2.6.3, but is compiled with out nptl. i go to recompile it wiht nptl and view if it works.

thanks for the tip

Hi
I switch my machine to nptl and all works fine now.

thanks for your help

Hi Benoit,

how can this issue be fixed in case nptl is not available?
I'm using debian linux distribution, which uses a 2.4 kernel.

Thx alot

Tom

ICE: 3.1.0

We do not support the old Linux threads anymore. You must upgrade to a Linux with NPTL.

Hi Marc,

thanks for your quick reply!
What was the last Ice version supporting LinuxThreads?

THX

Tom

I really don't know anymore. It must be a pretty old version. You should not use the old linux threads, they are very inefficient, non-standard compliant, and buggy.

Thanks for this input!

I'll dig into the depth of LinuxThreads and NPTL!

Take care,

Tom
