ErrorLog "| /usr/bin/tee -a /var/log/httpd/error_log | java program reading msgs from stdinput"
The error_log file gets rotated using logrotate every hour.
The java program has following statement
while ((msg = this.stdinReader.readLine()) != null) {
}
This essentially reads the lines till EOF is encountered. After this I close all the resources and the main method ends.
Earlier I was NOT ending the program when EOF was encountered. So apache used to start new process every hour keeping old one intact. But this stopped happening when the logic to terminate program was added when EOF is encountered.
But now this does not seem to work with everything else remaining same. Now the same process keeps on running for days together which is little worrisome as does not look like the normal behaviour.
What are my debugging options here.
