I'm pretty sure it will. Falling off the end of main won't and closing all GUI windows won't, but System/exit is supposed to kill the VM reliably. In particular, when I did this: user=> (def q (agent [])) #'user/q user=> (send q conj 3) #<Agent []> user=> (System/exit 0) Repl is disconnected and Task Manager showed the Java process disappearing completely, even though (for some odd reason) agent threads are non-daemon (which is why the JVM will linger after a GUI closes if you don't call shutdown-agents after using agents). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
