[Backgroundrb-devel] trouble stopping backgroundrb

[Woody Peterson]

I too have been having the same issue. Every time I try to restart  
backgroundrb after an update to our application (about once a day), I  
have to forcefully kill it myself. However, I haven't been able to  
reproduce it in a controlled setting. After I kill and start it, it  
all works ok. I tried killing packet_worker processes (even with -9),  
but it still shuts down correctly on the stop command. I'll let it run  
for a while and try tomorrow, but has anyone been able to predictably  
reproduce the issue?
