Re: [cbi-dev] What is correct procedure to restart HIPP instance?

Thanks Denis. 

I found a sort-of-related wiki page,
and added this information there. 

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Services/HIPP

Feel free to edit/move if it belongs
elsewhere.

What is correct procedure to restart HIPP instance?

Although the Stop/Start/Restart facility is meant
as a "right now" 
facility, it sends a SIGTERM to all the processes that are currently 
running by the HIPP user in question.  As SIGTERM is a "polite
request 
to terminate", they are given the opportunity to clean-up and terminate
(which I assume they do), or to ignore the signal.

If you want more proper termination (ie, no aborted jobs) then you 
should place Hudson into shutdown mode to prevent it from queueing more
jobs, which a system-level process cannot do.
