Comment (by Giova84):
I partially solved launching polipo in this way:
{{{
job system-proxy {
launch /system/bin/polipo logFile="/var/log/polipo.log"
}
}}}
(I add the log file to investigate about the issue, unfortunately without
any hints)
It still hangs at reboot/shutdown, but now, If i send a kill signal to
polipo
{{{
~> kill polipo
}}}
Is properly quitted and no longer hangs at reboot/shutdown (previously,
when I attempted to kill polipo, it was immediately restarted).
However: I also running polipo on Linux, and sometimes (eg when I apply
changes to polipo's config files - or when I add some site to block inside
the "forbidden file") I do a
{{{
~> sudo /etc/init.d/polipo restart
}}}
Which quit and immediately restart polipo.
With the first method on Haiku (the method which prevents to definitively
quit polipo), the following:
{{{
service x-vnd.Polipo-Proxy {
launch /bin/polipo
no_safemode
}
}}}
When I send a kill signal to Polipo, it exactly acts as on Linux using
init.d .
The fact is that the above method which I used firstly, was the most
practical to administrate polipo. Maybe there is a proper way or some
options/commands to avoid the hangs at reboot/shutdown?
