Created attachment 923367 [details]
RHQ Agent Wrapper log file with thread dump

Description of problem:
The agent is waiting for shutdown of idle worker threads (the threads which read external process output and error streams)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.9 -> 4.12

How reproducible:
1/1

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Inventory an EAP6 server
2.Invoke operation restart
3.Wait for the EAP6 server to come back up
4.Execute rhqctl --agent restart

Actual results:
The agent awaits shutdown of ProcessExecutor idle worker thread

Expected results:
The agent should terminate immediately

Additional info:
See thread dump in agent wrapper log file attached

Comment 1 John Mazzitelli 2014-08-01 17:05:42 UTC
well, I'm not convinced yet this is a problem. Why should the agent terminate immediately? In this case, it is waiting to finish doing what it was told to do (that is, restart EAP through the restart operation - the EAP restart hasn't finished yet, right?).

I would rather the agent finish managing the production resource (that is, finish restarting the EAP instance) than have the management tool (the agent) immediately die and not finish. 

Or do I misunderstand the problem that is being reported?

Comment 2 Thomas Segismont 2014-08-01 17:08:45 UTC
The operation finished and marked as such in the UI, that's not the problem. Look at the attached file. We have two threads reading the output of a running process.

There's no need to block the JVM while waiting for a process completion or pumping process streams
