<div>Hi Chandru-</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thank you for the info. You are absolutely right that there were tables open.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not because I wasn't closing them, the code seemed correct.</div>
<div>It was the fact that I wasn't checking the return of des:close which was failing due to ownership.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>Thank you so much!!!</div>
<div> </div>

<div>I doubt it is caused by dets_server. dets_server seems to be a "well behaved" process. It is a gen_server which traps exits, and the terminate function gets called when you shutdown the node using q(). My hunch is that you are not closing all your dets files. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not sure if you realise, multiple processes can open the same dets file concurrently and dets maintains a reference count. The reference count has to go down to zero before the process for the dets file gets shutdown gracefully.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>supervisor:which_children(dets_sup).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>should tell you if there are any pending dets processes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>cheers,</div>

<div>I'm using erlang 18.0, on ubuntu 14. It was also happening with 17.5, I'm running my own application which has been working fine for months. This issue showed up after I added code to open dets files, I do close all the dets files before I quit my application.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I ran the commands you suggested below but interestingly there is no more info with it, matches your lines up untill the point it's supose to print what went wrong but then nothing...., so frustrating:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>3> whereis(init).<br/>
<0.0.0><br/>
4> dbg:tracer().<br/>
{ok,<0.5341.0>}<br/>
5> dbg:p(whereis(init), [s,r]).<br/>
{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,1}]}<br/>
6> q().<br/>
(<0.0.0>) << {stop,stop}<br/>
(<0.0.0>) <0.7.0> ! {'EXIT',<0.2.0>,shutdown}<br/>
ok<br/>
** exception exit: shutdown<br/>

<div>Which version of erlang are you using? What OS? Trying it on OS X, the node dies quietly. Not entirely sure why you are seeing the "exception exit" message. Did you have any processes running before you invoked q()? Basically the node shutdown procedure is being invoked, and all your processes get killed.</div>

<br/>
does anyone have any pointers on how to debug an exception exit in shell?<br/>
<br/>
When I type q(). into the shell I get this:<br/>
<br/>
3> q().<br/>
ok<br/>
** exception exit: shutdown<br/>

The problem is I don't know where to look since the exception is so terse. Does anyone have any pointers?<br/>
