Add option to totally remove RUNNING_PID management

[valdo404]

Hi,

as we are using supervisord to manage our play application, we would like to tell the native packager we do not want to use PID management.
How can we do that ?

Best.

I need a bit more information

• supervisord, does this mean you are running a docker image?
• If you aren't using docker, which packaging format are you using?
• have you tried the play config setting -Dconfig.pidfile=/dev/null?

Hi,

• we only mean that the process is managed by supervisord, without pid management.
• We are using zip packaging format
• We didn't try /dev/null, but it looks like a hack ;) thanks for the tip.

If you use the zip packaging format, then the solution you are looking for is the /dev/null setting.
It's documented in the playframework docs, so you can see it as an official hack ;)

Native packager doesn't provide any kind of system-loader or pid-management. We only provide configurations for existing systems like systemd, systemv and upstart.
