[Opensim-users] Automating shutdown of an OS Server for Grid Setup

[Rhian]

Hi,
I've tried several ways to send a shutdown to my screen sessions running on
my grid server, with mixed results.

screen -S $sessname -X eval "stuff shutdown^M"

Works best for me, (I also have a regions-service running), I check if the
region went down with the above, if not:

screen -S $sessname -r -m  -X quit

And a final sweep kills the process if it still hangs after that (which
happened a lot around r7000 or so).

Once the region is down, rinse and repeat for the UGAIMs... :-)

My scripting is really horrible, since it calls other scripts and nothing is
really defined/documented, but it works for me. I hope these bits help a
little?
