void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.thunderbirdparser.ThunderbirdMboxFileIngestModule.shutDown ( )

Invoked by Autopsy when an ingest job is completed (either because the data has been analyzed or because the job was canceled - check IngestJobContext.fileIngestIsCancelled()), before the ingest module instance is discarded. The module should respond by doing things like releasing private resources, submitting final results, and posting a final ingest message.

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.ingest.FileIngestModule.

Definition at line 755 of file ThunderbirdMboxFileIngestModule.java.

void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.thunderbirdparser.ThunderbirdMboxFileIngestModule.startUp ( IngestJobContext context ) throws IngestModuleException

Invoked by Autopsy to allow an ingest module instance to set up any internal data structures and acquire any private resources it will need during an ingest job. If the module depends on loading any resources, it should do so in this method so that it can throw an exception in the case of an error and alert the user. Exceptions that are thrown from process() and shutDown() are logged, but do not stop processing of the data source.

Parameters

context Provides data and services specific to the ingest job and the ingest pipeline of which the module is a part.

Exceptions

org.sleuthkit.autopsy.ingest.IngestModule.IngestModuleException
