 +Additionally,​ it is recommended to set LD_PRELOAD to Java's libjsig.so library due to known compatibility issues with Java's signal handling with other applications,​ including Omnidex. This is necessary to avoid unexplained aborts of the JVM when connecting to Omnidex processes, such as when setting up application pooling using DBCP.
