;-) It is not so much that I need help, I am not stuck. I just want to understand how this change came about, because I think it is an important difference for scripting and server usage. Also, I don't like the silly busy code: it hurts aesthetically. On 15 Feb 2012, at 22:19, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:

New issue 5300 by sven.van...@gmail.com: End of startup script behavior changed ? http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5300

Guys,

Maybe I missed this, but did something change with the behavior at the end of a startup script between 1.3 and 1.4 ?

It used to be that the image kept on running unless you asked it to quit explicitly, now it seems that the image automatically quits unless you keep it busy. Can someone confirm this ? Was this intentional ?

What would be the recommended way to keep the image open ?

Somehow something like

[ (Delay forDuration: 1 hour) wait ] repeat.

seems so silly, but it works.

Thx,

Sven
