HI!
Tixati creates a lock.dat semaphore file during startup, which allows scripts to track its status or crash.
Why semaphore file only one?
Sometimes it is necessary to terminate tixati correctly remotely, for example, to backup a BD.
Please add the "
exit.dat" semaphore file, when it appears in the working directory, the program would end, as if the "exit" button was clicked with the mouse. In some cases, the system freezes, the UI is not available, and creating
exit.dat via scp is the only way to exit it correctly!
In the previous year I already raised this topic (
https://forum.tixati.com/support/7399 ), there was only one answer, and unfortunately it does not fit.
Need a guaranteed-correct completion of tixati. If i just remove the task from CLI:
WINDOWS: taskkill /pid <tixati process id>
LINUX: pkill tixati
there is a high chance of corrupting the database. Therefore, the best option is give to tixati a semaphore file so that it ends gracefully on its own.
