Description

The Apache mailing list shows that they have the same problem before. However it said procrun 1.0.8 fixed this problem. I tried different versions of procrun however it showed no luck.
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-user/201204.mbox/[e-mail]%3E

both installation and start work perfectly. However it always reported error when stopping the service.
Failed to stop 'TestApplication' service
The data area passed to a system call is too small.
In fact, the stop was successful after the processing was complete.

Checked TestApplicaton code and found out that when prunsrv threw that exception, the java main thread was sleeping for 5 seconds.
