[ome-users] icegridnode: error: property `Ice.Default.Locator' is not set

[Josh Moore]

Hi Ken,

SIGTERM sent to the icegridnode process will cleanly shutdown the
entire OMERO instance, yes. (I usually use "killall icegridnode" on
systems where I know there is only one OMERO running.) It does this by
sending a SIGTERM to each of the processes, and then exiting itself.

If you send the Java process a SIGTERM directly, it will also shutdown
cleanly, but icegridnode will start it back up again unless told not
to.
