[AG-TECH] AG2 dies because of Life in Hours

[Supreeya Miller]

Michael,

Thank you for the direction.

However....
I did not have to Ctrl-c or do anything to arm- and vrm-eventlisterner.
They always ran gracefully and reliably.

Supreeya,

We've seen that here at NCSA as well.  The workaround is to CTRL-C the
AGServiceManager.py process before the proxy expires.  We do this after
each AG meeting, similar to what we did with arm-eventlistener and
vrm-eventlistener way back in the AG1 days... ;-)

There are Bugs #896 and #793 reported on this issue.
