Is there a way to stop xqmagent with out having to kill -9 it's proc # ?

Is there a way to redirect where it looks for the xqmagent.conf file ?

>Is there a way to stop xqmagent with out having to kill -9 it's proc # ?
Not at the moment. Since the Python runtime environment does not prevent the child process PID, it's hard to implement. But I'm working on it. One of the next updates will fullfill the daemon standards start, stop, restart completely.

No, but this will also go into one of the next updates. So root access to /etc won't be necessary anymore.

The easy way to stop xqmagent:
#killall xqmagent

Plain and simple.

Yep -- but it can happen that the port stays occupied ... so the Agent needs to handle the KILL signal, freeying the port before going down.

As an intermediate solution, take this startup script (don't foget to fill in your Agent's location):
