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.
That would be a good thing to have in the Pharo For The Enterprise book. 
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?
