This is what I've tried...
from sun.misc import Signal
from sun.misc import SignalHandler
class InterruptHandler(SignalHandler):
def handle(self):
print "Shutting down server..."
Signal.handle(Signal("INT"),InterruptHandler())
It's based on this http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/Issue043.html, but evidently I'm missing something.
Looks like a bug in Jython. There are some workarounds given there.
I was facing similar problem before. This is how I get it resolved.
First, register a signal handler in your Jython script by:
import signal
def intHandler(signum, frame):
print "Shutting down.."
System.exit(1)
# Set the signal handler
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, intHandler)
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, intHandler)
This will register the signal handler for the Jython script to handle CTRL+C keyboard input.
However, the default console class org.python.util.JLineConsole treats ctrl+C as a normal character inputs.
So, Secondly - need to change the python.console to an alternative console class org.python.core.PlainConsole by either change the Jython property:
python.console=org.python.core.PlainConsole
or add the jvm argument:
-Dpython.console=org.python.core.PlainConsole
This will help you to shutdown the program after CTRL+C is pressed.
