The apporach & timings I'm following here are the same as that used in systemd, and the only way a process could not die after the SIGKILL is if the kernel had it in an uninterruptable sleep. So I think this is sufficient for our needs - it certainly is dramatically more reliable than the code it is replacing in LXC :-) Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
