ollama - 💡(How to fix) Fix Mac ollama does not set menu bar item so you cannot close it without killing the process [1 participants]

Fix Plan

The fix involves modifying the Ollama application to properly handle the quit event and terminate its processes when closed via the GUI.

Steps to Fix

• Modify the Ollama application code to listen for the SIGTERM signal and handle it by terminating the process.
• Add a atexit handler to ensure that the process is terminated when the GUI is closed.

Example Code

import atexit
import os
import signal
import sys

def terminate_process():
    # Terminate the process
    os._exit(0)

# Handle SIGTERM signal
def signal_handler(sig, frame):
    terminate_process()

# Register signal handler
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, signal_handler)

# Register atexit handler
atexit.register(terminate_process)

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, close the Ollama application via the GUI and check that the processes are terminated. You can use the ps command to check if the processes are still running.

Extra Tips

• Make sure to test the fix on different macOS versions to ensure compatibility.
• Consider adding a logging mechanism to track when the SIGTERM signal is received and when the process is terminated.
