Thanks Sven bue I have no issues on Pharo 2

The problem is with Pharo 3 on the latest VM

With services and all this I was referring not to things inside the image but in the OS (the headless image as service)

Yes, having a init.d script to start the image is the goal

Are you using your scrips on any Pharo 3?

Hi there,

What are you using to monitor processes in headless images?

I ask because the new way to start a headless image in linux is:

pharo-vm/pharo -vm-display-null your.image �no-quit

And it seems that it always quits

I always start images with no preconfigured servers/services in them and then use an st script to start servers/services. Then you are using the STCommandLineHandler that does _not_ quit by default.

Furthermore, I have a script to control image/vm start/stop/restart/pid which I use from /etc/init.d with monit using these last scripts.

If you want, I can send you the code.

You could try extracting it from http://stfx.eu/pharo-server/ but that page is old.

HTH,

Sven

For example supervisord* is really unhappy about this way to run a service.

It�s really unfortunate. This is a show stopper.

Is there an OS signal being sent when you use -vm-display-null or the process stays normally up?

There is no way to run a headless image like we used to?
