Hey, I have a ros application that has a GUI on top of it. When I close the window from the GUI, I call ros::shutdown() in all of my nodes. I checked to make sure I was killing all my nodes by using rosnode list. All my nodes are shutdown but rosout is still alive. Is there a way to get rosout to shutdown without SIGINT? I would like my program to exit cleanly when the GUI window closes.
Thanks!!
I think rosout is kept alive by the roscore process. If you didn't want to send a SIGINT, you could try the answer on this question and add required="true" to one of your nodes that shuts down. That's if the core was launched with the launch file, of course.
rosout is started and stopped by roscore. You do not need to shut it down manually. In fact, if you did shut it down, roscore would restart it.
