<![CDATA[Nullpointer in vmstat when exiting]]>Whenever I shutdown mango the vmstat daemon thread crashes with a nullpointer exception. this isn't a big deal since I am shutting it down anyway, but it also happens when disabling the data source:

As you can see line is null. the nullpointer occurs at the readParts(line.split) line below, every time when I shut down.

 public void run() {
        try {
            while (true) {
                String line = in.readLine();
                readParts(line.split("\\s+"));
                readError();
            }
        }

The appropriate fix isn't obvious to me.

I already have a fix for this in for the next version. I did this:


            while (true) {
                String line = in.readLine();
                
                if (line == null) {
                    if (terminated)
                        break;
                    else
                        throw new IOException("no data");
                }
                
                readParts(line.split("\\s+"));
                readError();
            }
