< frhodes> how can I replace an existing running server with a new one
without rebooting?
< antrik> frhodes: depends. if other critical things depend on it, you
can't. there is no mechanism to serialize and pass on the open sessions
< antrik> in some situations, you can orphan the old translator while
starting a new one, so the previous clients will stay with the old one
while new one will get the new one
< antrik> obviously that only works for things that aren't exclusive by
nature
< antrik> in some cases, you might even be able simply to remove the old
translator... but obviously only for non-critical stuff :-)

<braunr> mhmm, there is a problem with thread destruction
[[open_issues/libpthread/t/fix_have_kernel_resources]].
<braunr> actually, translator self destruction
<braunr> if a request arrives after the last thread servicing a port set
returns from mach_msg because of a timeout, but before the translator is
detached from its parent, the client will get an error
<braunr> it should very rarely happen, but if it does, we could face the
same kind of issues we have when a server crashes
<braunr> e.g. sshd looping over select() returning EBADF, consuming all cpu
<braunr> not sure we want to introduce such new issues
<braunr> i don't think i'll be able to make translators disappear reliably
..
<braunr> but at least, thread consumption will correctly decrease with
inactivity
