Stopping the Application

The Stop method provides a two-tiered approach to stopping the data service: an orderly or smooth approach using a SIGTERM signal through pmfadm and an abrupt or hard approach using a SIGKILL signal. The Stop method obtains the Stop_timeout value (the amount of time in which the Stop method must return). Stop allocates 80 percent of this time to stopping smoothly and 15 percent to stopping abruptly (5 percent is reserved), as shown in the following sample code.

STOP_TIMEOUT='scha_resource_get -O STOP_TIMEOUT -R $RESOURCE_NAME \
-G $RESOURCEGROUP_NAME'
((SMOOTH_TIMEOUT=$STOP_TIMEOUT * 80/100))
((HARD_TIMEOUT=$STOP_TIMEOUT * 15/100))

The Stop method uses pmfadm -q to verify that the DNS daemon is running. If the DNS daemon is running, Stop first uses pmfadm -s to send a TERM signal to terminate the DNS process. If this signal fails to terminate the process after 80 percent of the timeout value has expired, Stop sends a SIGKILL signal. If this signal also fails to terminate the process within 15 percent of the timeout value, the method logs an error message and exits with an error status.

If pmfadm terminates the process, the method logs a message that the process has stopped and exits with success.

If the DNS process is not running, the method logs a message that it is not running and exits with success anyway. The following code sample shows how Stop uses pmfadm to stop the DNS process.

# See if in.named is running, and if so, kill it. 
if pmfadm -q $PMF_TAG; then
   # Send a SIGTERM signal to the data service and wait for 80% of the
   # total timeout value.
   pmfadm -s $RESOURCE_NAME.named -w $SMOOTH_TIMEOUT TERM
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
      logger -p ${SYSLOG_FACILITY}.err \
          -t [$RESOURCETYPE_NAME,$RESOURCEGROUP_NAME,$RESOURCE_NAME] \
          “${ARGV0} Failed to stop HA-DNS with SIGTERM; Retry with \
           SIGKILL”
      
      # Since the data service did not stop with a SIGTERM signal, use 
      # SIGKILL now and wait for another 15% of the total timeout value.
      pmfadm -s $PMF_TAG -w $HARD_TIMEOUT KILL
      if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
          logger -p ${SYSLOG_FACILITY}.err \
          -t [$SYSLOG_TAG] \
          “${ARGV0} Failed to stop HA-DNS; Exiting UNSUCCESSFUL”
         exit 1
      fi
fi
else 
   # The data service is not running as of now. Log a message and 
   # exit success.
   logger -p ${SYSLOG_FACILITY}.err \
           -t [$SYSLOG_TAG] \
           “HA-DNS is not started”

   # Even if HA-DNS is not running, exit success to avoid putting
   # the data service resource in STOP_FAILED State.
   exit 0
fi

# Could successfully stop DNS. Log a message and exit success.
logger -p ${SYSLOG_FACILITY}.err \
    -t [$RESOURCETYPE_NAME,$RESOURCEGROUP_NAME,$RESOURCE_NAME] \
    “HA-DNS successfully stopped”
exit 0
