#377 Dogtag 10: Missing Python logging.shutdown() call . . .
Closed: wontfix Opened by mharmsen.

Closed: wontfix
Reopen Issue

pkispawn/pkirespawn/pkidestroy all utilize the Python system logging mechanism documented at http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html as implemented in the pkilogging.py scriptlet.

It was discovered that no call is being made to "logging.shutdown()" to safely shutdown this mechanism, and as one should check that logging is enabled before attempting to shut it down, a method to do this should be added to the pkilogging.py scriptlet.

[06/04/2014] - Moving to Milestone 10.2.3 due to schedule restrictions.

proposed Milestone: 10.2.3 - Per Dogtag 10.2.3 meeting of 09/25/2014

Per Dogtag 10.2.X meeting of 01/14/2015: Milestone 10.2 Backlog

Per 10.2.3 TRIAGE meeting of 02/26/2015: 10.3

NOTE: Moved from 10.2 Backlog since it was not a documentation/man page issue.

The scripts don't have to call the logging.shutdown() function explicitly. The logging module registers the function as atexit hook. It's automatically called when the script exits. I have been using the logging module in multiple applications for years w/o calling logging.shutdown(). So far I haven't seen any issues like broken log files.

It's also safe to call the function multiple times, too. It's even safe to call it when the logging framework hasn't been initialized.
