At least it's not purposely breaking shell inheritance like IDEAS on IRIX used to do. Looked absolutely horrible when another sysadmin looked at those systems. Still, that's just terrible practice today.

Yeah, I can't say what I am thinking about it without making this site PEGI 18...

I'm thinking it right along with you, between bouts of nausea from the memories.

I'm still wrestling with it, but it looks like I'm going to win this one.

Good! Beat that POS into submission!

Oh I did. It tried to cheat on my two more times by blocking the whole shell process despite being forced to background (app &) and using the same TCP port for two different instances but ... finally gave up.

Thanks for your coaching

Looks perfect to me, better than that blinding, hot, sunshine BS Americans try to sell so they can pretend their weather is more bearable.

Yeah, I don't care about missing sunshine and whatever. At least there was no rain. We have a common saying here in Hamburg: There is no such thing like bad weather, just wrong clothes.

Oh, fischkopf winking emoji. Daenisch hat aehnliche spruch "der findes intet der hedder daarligt vejr kun daarligt paaklaedning"

Edit: Emojis not working again?

"Fischkopp" pls. My Danish is more than rusty, but I think I got it

Jeg har ønsket, jeg vidste mere dansk, end jeg gør. I stedet må jeg bruge Google Translate.

Uhm, you speak Danish? I can read it a bit, but that's it. At least I would get my Smørrebrød during vacations

Yeah, wasn't a secret at all. I guess it's "viral marketing" of some sort. Pick some small studio and let them post on Reddit, Twitter or somewhere else.

Anyway, as quite some people here are addicted to gaming, I thought that it would be a good to leave a note.

Eh... so the Server we're running is not R2 (that teaches me to listen to anyone when I can just look it up myself..) it's Server 2012 Standard.

I got the eval from Microsoft's site, and there are instructions to activate it as a full license, but they don't seem to like the product key. That or I'm misunderstanding the instructions.

Fun times.....

DISM /AcceptEula /Online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Oh I know, I've confirmed it ~10ish times.

I'm digging through some more data to see what the issue might be.

Odd... it's set-edition 99% of the time. What is /get-edition telling you?

Solved... Seems like Gogo is creating its own shell for whatever reason and this was crashing when running in the background, e.g. detached from its parent shell.

Found a Gogo-parameter (gosh.args=--nointeractive) here

• http://apache-felix.18485.x6.nabble.com/Gogo-shell-on-standard-input-output-streams-td4845969.html#a4845970 and here
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14323225/making-apache-felix-gogo-not-open-a-local-console

Basically, the following command line will do:
java -Dgosh.args=--nointeractive -jar bin/felix.jar &

With stdout and stderr redirection:
java -Dgosh.args=--nointeractive -jar bin/felix.jar > /var/log/myapp.log 2>&1 &

Update: This seems to be related to Jetty (an embedded webserver) and/or "Apache Felix Gogo" (a framework of some sort, maybe related to bundling). As far as I can tell from looking at the output, the process hangs just before Jetty gets initialized. It will do this just fine when it is running in the foreground.

XS FTW!!

I believe it is too just need to find the best way to "backup" from ESXi and restore to XenServer? As i'm going to convert the ESXi server to a XenServer

V2V? Or just convert the disk images and recreate the VMs manually?

I'm fighting with some piece of crap software written in Java. It starts just fine, but the very second I'm trying to launch it with a & to let it run in the background, it will terminate itself after 3 seconds. Output isn't helpful at all.

Working:
java -jar /opt/vendor/bin/software.jar

Not working:
java -jar /opt/vendor/bin/software.jar &

I'm a bit curious about this: The java process shouldn't care if it is running in the background or not. Tried different things like output redirection, nohup, disown etc. to no avail. Last resort would be a agetty autologin session running in the background, but I really don't want to do that. Altering the software is not an option.

System is Ubuntu 16.04 with ppa:webupd8team/java, a specific requirement for this software.

Any ideas?

Russian roulette, no more, no less. The question is not if they will get a virus/scareware/ransomware/whatever, the question is just "when".
