Siri,
</div><div><br></div><div>I ran into two issues that this patch addresses. Check out the commit message at <a href="https://github.com/joewilliams/otp/commit/9c3a53789326cdd929f1c3b4525716b1c0abfe87">https://github.com/joewilliams/otp/commit/9c3a53789326cdd929f1c3b4525716b1c0abfe87</a> for the details. In both cases I found that in production an error in the logs was preferable to the restart of the VM since both are easily fixable with a small application change or in the case of the suspended supervisor using a different app up. Also see this comment in release_handler_1 regarding the supervisor, <a href="https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/dev/lib/sasl/src/release_handler_1.erl#L454">https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/dev/lib/sasl/src/release_handler_1.erl#L454</a> which suggests this corner case is known by at least a few people. Currently there is no way to know *why* your VM just restarted after the upgrade in either case.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know if you have any other questions.</div><div><br></div><div>-Joe</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- <br><div style="font-size: medium; ">Name: Joseph A.

<span><div><div>Hi again, Joe!<div><br></div><div>Could you please explain a bit about the situation where you discovered this problem? I agree that the timeout and VM restart is not very good, and it makes sense to check if the supervisor is suspended. But I'm not really sure if it is correct to allow the upgrade to continue when this error occurs. Even if an error message is printed, I guess it could be quite easy to miss this fact... and the question is if that would be a problem or not? Why is the supervisor suspended in the first place?</div>

Hi Joe - I've just started looking at this. Do you think it would be possible to add a test case for it?<div>Regards</div><div>/siri<div><div><br><br><div>2011/8/24 Joe Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joe@joetify.com" target="_blank">joe@joetify.com</a>></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>

Anything I can do regarding this patch? I have happily been running it in production since I submitted it to the list in June.
