Gracefully shutdown KOReader

[bitfreak]

Hi again,

Is there a way to gracefully shutdown KOReader from the commandline ? I've noticed that SIGTERM or SIGKILL will stop the process, but it will not get a chance to save its settings.

Thanks

Hi.

There's no way to exit (or interact in any way with a running instance) from commandline.

I'm not sure about the purpose but you can always patch the runtime to provide an interface over cli and use that to call Device.exit(). See https://github.com/koreader/koreader...tches#overview

Koreader is running as a service, so when the service is stopped,so should koreader and that works, its just not saving the settings.

I'm sorry. I thought you were asking a serious question.

I imagine you'd need an RPC àla https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/10223 to control an *existing* instance.

Irrelevant, as process monitoring won't do shit if what's being monitored doesn't care about SIGHUP . (Spoiler: we don't).

(Also wrong on nearly every platform, the only platform which uses a very very very very thin "service" shim is rM, but that's a technicality, as it doesn't do shit besides fire a one-off script that isn't actually KOReader yet).
