Description Dan Berger 2004-01-28 21:20:59 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Ive had several instances where evo dies and refuses to re-start.  In each
case, running --force-shutdown doesn't help - and the culprit turns out to
be a still-running evolution-data-server.

--force-shutdown should clean up this process as well.
Comment 1 Rodney Dawes 2004-01-29 14:45:45 UTC 
Since evolution-data-server is nominally totally separate from
Evolution itself, having Evolution kill it when there is something
wrong with Evolution, is silly, since other apps may need the server.
However, having evolution-data-server have a --force-shutdown option
so that it may dispose of itself, and any backends, would probably be
a good thing. Then, one could just run
/usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.0 --force-shutdown to kill the
server and any out-of-process backends.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2004-08-03 21:26:08 UTC 
Evolution does kill this now, further enhancements can happen post 2.0
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-09-28 11:49:08 UTC 
retargetting from 1.3 to 1.5 to get rid of that busted milestones (as discussed
with harish on irc).

reassigning to harish.

Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-06-18 20:42:32 UTC 
one can nowadays shutdown evolution-data-server by running "evolution --force-shutdown", see bug 323115, so i'm closing this as obsolete.
