Projects Taking Forever to Stop
Hi Sven,
Thanks for your great work and continuous updates to all your software products.
However, I'm having this challenge when wanting to stop running Projects to either update the program or restart my server. It will say "stopping" and just remain there for the next hours.
The only option has been to use the exit button. However, when it closes this way, I have noticed that most verified links have not been saved. It starts re-verifying and then you have a lot lost verified links compared to what it had verified just before the forceful exit.
This is more concerning especially when you want to stop a single project from running and letting other run. The program simply tries ending threads that never seem to want to end.
How does one terminate current running threads? Because this seems to be the problem. Some thread just never seem to finish.
This is important because obviously it means that even when you assumed the program was running fine with all the threads you expected were working fine, some of them were just stuck and using up your system resource.
Thanks for your usual genius solutions.

Two of those project finally stopped after more than 30 minutes. At the moment two are still "stopping".
Kindly check.
So that means that the probability remains that the remaining threads that are not stopping are practically using up part of the allotted number of threads GSA is set to run at.
I think I'm drifting more to the possibility of forcing GSA to save the current data for a certain project and being be able to force that particular project to stop.
Is there no way that GSA can be made to particular kill any running thread for a specific project but ensuring that save the current data - for instance currently verified link list.
Because as I said earlier on, once I force the program to close - at times by Windows Task Manager - a lot of verified links are lost.
And when the project runs again, a good number of those verified links are not recovered. It has been a recurrent problem for me.
This is especially important when you have a Tiered structure in place.
Thanks.
I sent you a recent bug report with some threads that have been hanging for close to an hour since I stopped SER as a whole.
Hope this is better for your diagnosis.
Each time I stop SER like I just did earlier, it normally looses about 25-35% of its verified links. It will then start verifying and adding them to the verification list and at the end there'll be a loss of about 5%.
But most other project remain OK and do not loose not verified links. It's the newest of the projects I have running and I simply don't why it's behaving like this.
May be Windows default firewall or something else. Then I might have to look at that and see how I can remove any form of filtering or interception.
Really surprising though!
