[Suggestion] Kill process at port before starting OpenKM

[miguelromero]

I have seen OpenKm to fail at startup sometimes while trying to bind to a port when its busy, in windows enviroment. Didnt test it in linux.
Its really easy to add a batch file before the executing startup.bat and kill all the processes in the desired port:

The following command will print and kill all process and child process in port 2002:

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=5 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :2002') DO @ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P /T /F
FOR /F "tokens=5 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :2002') DO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P /T /F

Take in mind that if you want to test it in the command console you must use only one % symbol. ( %P ). Two % are needed inside the .bat batch file.

This script will solve the problem that OpenKM cant kill the process soffice.bin process binded at port 2002, since it automatically tries to run it and needs the port to be completly free.

You can also configure OpenKM to start OpenOffice listering in another port.

Yes thank you pavila for the tip.

The problem lies when shutting down OpenKM, some child processes are not closed, like one of the soffice.bin instances binded to port 2002.

When you start OpenKM there are two instances of soffice.bin opened listening at port 2002. After you close OpenKM server (java.exe instance), one of the soffice.bin instances is not closed. This causes that next startups of OpenKM server may not be able to bind to port 2002 since there is a child process already binded and sometimes its not able to kill it.
Thats why I think that this script could be usefull to add at the startup of OpenKM.

Tested under Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and lastest OpenOffice version.

Interesting behaviour. I will try in Windows 7 but in Ubuntu / Debian works fine.

Actually even i found this error, whenever i restart openkm, i get "this offcemanager is already running" message and files are not previewed/converted!

Where should i put this above script and should i make any change or simply copy/paste?

Thanks

hello shaardu, I added it between the following lines, at the beginning of the file openkm\tomcat\bin\startup.bat:

Code: Select all

if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal
rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Start script for the CATALINA Server

rem Kill process at port 2002
FOR /F "tokens=5 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :2002') DO @ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P /T /F
FOR /F "tokens=5 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :2002') DO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P /T /F

rem Guess CATALINA_HOME if not defined
set "CURRENT_DIR=%cd%"
if not "%CATALINA_HOME%" == "" goto gotHome
set "CATALINA_HOME=%CURRENT_DIR%"
if exist "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat" goto okHome
