Issue

When Iguana is not shut down gracefully, it may cause issues upon restart.

Possible Causes

• Force stopping the process will not wait for external processes (like web services and databases) to return results before it shuts down

• It can leave various “artifacts” like, unreclaimed memory (a so called memory leak), zombie processes (child processes not shutdown), unclosed connections, etc.

Possible Solutions

• The Iguana service should be gracefully shutdown before restarting the server
