If shutdown has been initiated (via maxadmin or by sending a
SIGINT or SIGTERM) and a SIGTERM is received, the process
is terminated.
If shutdown has been initiated (via maxadmin or by sending a
SIGINT or SIGTERM) and a SIGINT (Ctrl-C) is received, a warning
is printed that shutdown is in progess. Then, if an additional
SIGINT is received, the process is terminated.
So, in practice:
- If MaxScale is running as a daemon, the first SIGTERM initiates
shutdown and a second one unconditionally terminates the process.
- If MaxScale is running in the console, the first Ctrl-C initiates
shutdown, the second prints a warning and the third terminates
the process.
This is to ensure that MaxScale can be forced to exit, in
case some thread is hung for whatever reason, and is thus preventing
the controlled shutdown.
