Hi Drew, I've been trying to recreate your issue.... (defn forever[x] (while true (Thread/sleep 100) (print \-) (flush))) (let [a (agent 0)] (send (agent 0) forever)) (println (Thread/activeCount) "threads active") (shutdown-agents) (println "I'm here") ;(System/exit 0)
Notably shutdown-agents is a non-blocking call, and without the exit the program runs forever. With the exit, for me the program terminates - but I believe this is where the behavior which may vary... something different occurring in your environment to mine - shutodown hooks? JVM? My only other stab in the dark is could your (flush) actually block before System/exit is called? Can you try my example and see if it hangs for you, and/or if there some code you can paste that hangs? Regards, Tim.
