[Linux] Programm not terminating when run in terminal

[th3-z]

Thanks, I'm aware of this issue, it only happens on Linux. I think there're a few places where ctrl + c isn't handled correctly if at all. I'll have a look at it soon.
If you wait a couple of seconds then ctrl + c again it should terminate.

Well Thank you! It's not that big of a deal. As I said if you run it withing a Screen Session I just quit the bot and then terminate the screen-session which works very nice. So no need to hurry ;)

This is solved, however now an Exception appears when using ctrl+c on Linux that I don't know how to handle.

Thank you for looking into it! I'll test it when I get home.

So... I took a look at the problem with the exception when exiting the program from the commandline.

I think it would be better to put a try/except block around "sys.exit()" because the exception seems to be a problem with how the termination with "sys.exit()" works.

I tried changing the code to

    try:
        sys.exit(0)
    except SystemExit:
        os._exit(0)

which should catch the exception.
Sorry if this is all wrong or bullshit. I'm very new to python and really should start looking into it more...

Yeah, I think that would solve the issue. However I've used sys.exit() in quite a few places and I don't really want this block everywhere. Maybe a termination function in main.py that does all the clean-up and this try-catch would be ideal.
