Burnin test exiting gracefully with a kill

[sm1]

The current linux cmd line version don't support additional plugins so as a work around we have a wrapper that calls the burnintest as well as running additional tests in the background.

This seems to work ok but in the event we want to stop the burnin test we issue a kill on the pid.

The issue is that doing this means we don't get any summary information in the log. Is there anyway to kill the command line tool and also keep the summary information.

thanks

Maybe you can simulate a keyboard key press from your wrapper to get it to exit gracefully.

But the developer best qualified to answer, isn't availalble today, but I'll get him to add a comment on Monday when he is back.

BurnInTest isn't currently handling the kill signal so we'll look into processing it and stopping the tests for the next release.

thanks. Any idea when that will be? Months, weeks?

There should be a new release in the next 3-4 weeks
