When ros.quipu terminates does it release/deallocate the core memory it had used to load the data base from disk ? Is killing ros.quipu abruptly ok or does that have any detrimental side affects ? Many thanks, Subhendu

If you use a catchable signal, such as SIGINT or SIGHUP, it will close all connections cleanly. If you use something like SIGKILL, connections will be ripped out, so DUA/DSAs connected won't see a nice shutdown. Colin
