This adds the possibility to basically stop a running AppShell that was created by sending a ACTION_SERVICE_EXECUTE intent.

This is used by my ongoing implementation of a cron-like service into TermuxAPI (PR: termux/termux-api#657)


Uri executableUri = intent.getData();
String executable = UriUtils.getUriFilePathWithFragment(executableUri);
String shellName = ShellUtils.getExecutableBasename(executable);

There would be conflicts if same executable was run from someplace else, and that function only returns first one. You should generate at least a six character alphanumeric [a-zA-Z0-9] random string and store that in cron tab in addition to the id and when sending execute or stop intent, pass that as TERMUX_SERVICE.EXTRA_SHELL_NAME, so that the executable for the job is killed, and not any other.

Good point.
Is there a character limit on the shell name?
Or the other way around: Could I just use a UUID?

There is no limit currently, but there should be, ideally 255, equal to NAME_NAME.

UUID would be too long and harder to see in app shells UI list and logs, just use a six character alphanumeric [a-zA-Z0-9] string, like mktemp template uses for unique files. Following should work, make sure <script_name>_<public_id>_<private_id> doesn't already exist in cron tab, otherwise regenerate private_id. The public_id here is the incrementing number you are currently using.

char[] allowedCharsArray = ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789").toCharArray();
char[] private_id = new char[6];
Random random = new SecureRandom();
for (int i = 0; i < private_id.length; i++) {
    private_id[i] = allowedCharsArray[random.nextInt(allowedCharsArray.length)];
}

I see. Thanks for the example.

I changed the method to only work if the shell name is explicitly set.

Welcome. Makes sense. I think it would be better to call getTermuxTaskForShellName() in a while loop until it starts returning null, so that all shells with same name get killed, since currently only first one would get killed, which may not be the one caller intended to kill. To prevent duplicates, callers should start shells with a unique shell name, like the cron API would do.

Good point - I had not considered multiple shells with the same name.

The extra name was also different. Both should be same with respective case, naming them sigkill_delay_on_stop makes it more clear on function of extra.

Will have to rename gracePeriod and gracePeriodMsec as well

* fix stop_delay constant
* terminate all appshells with matching name
