Description

Sling 6 does not shut down cleanly on Windows Server 2008 and the process must be killed manually.

The problem was discovered when we upgraded our Tomcat-based application to Sling 6, but it also occurs using an unmodified copy of the Sling Standalone Application. We consistently see the problem on all Windows Server 2008 machines.

After coming across SLING-2020 Update to latest Apache Felix Event Admin 1.2.10, I tried replacing the Apache Felix EventAdmin 1.2.10 bundle with the Knopflerfish Event-Admin 3.0.4 bundle (you will also need their Log Service bundle). Using the Knopflerfish bundle, the issue no longer occurred.
