how do I kill a zeopack without restarting zeo?

Question

It seems that in using the zeopack script, the zeopack script returns to the shell after signalling zeo to do a pack on a database. How can I kill a zeopack operation in zeo without bringing down the database?

Answer 1

The only way to kill the pack is to restart the server:

bin/zeoctl restart

Clients should reconnect automatically.

The server starts the packing in a separate thread to handle the packing but offers no 'stop' hook.
