[omniORB] Shutdown

[Dr Mark D Spiteri]

We'd like to profile a Linux multi-threaded application that also
implements/provides two CORBA server interfaces, and of course to use gprof
one needs to have the application exit with 2 as the return value. Ideally
I'd like to be able to trigger shutdown through a CORBA interface, or,
failing that, after some kind of timeout.

Does OmniORB (2.8.0/3.0.1) provide any customary timeout shutdown method as
suggested in the Vinoski book? I know about ORB->shutdown() in the POA but I
understand that this does not allow you to set the return value. Are there
any abstractions provided in OmniORB to support signal-initiated shutdown?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
