如何保证在ActorSystem关闭的时候，所有的ActorRef任务都能执行完？

Question

做过一个实验，把要处理的任务sleep 100ms，然后循环tell10次，也就是onReceiver那里会比较耗时，然后循环tell完之后。立即关闭ActorSystem，会报错，只执行了第一次的任务，后来的几次都没执行。简单代码如下：

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		ActorSystem system = ActorSystem.create("actorSystem");
		ActorRef actorRef = system.actorOf(Props.create(GreetPrinter.class), "GreetPrinter");

		for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
			actorRef.tell(new Greeting("Change" + i), ActorRef.noSender());
		}


		system.terminate();//旧版本是shutdown()
		
	}

//actor，work方法耗时100ms
public class GreetPrinter extends UntypedActor {

	@Override
	public void onReceive(Object msg) throws Exception {
		if (msg instanceof Greeting) {
			Greeting g = (Greeting) msg;
			g.work();
		}
	}

}

代码如上所示，会报错日志，我以为system.terminate();会把所有创建的ActorRef任务执行完才会关闭，但是发现不是这样的。那如何保证所有任务执行完才关闭ActorSystem呢？不要说用while循环检查每个ActorRef状态，这个方法不太好。报错日志如下：

Answer 1

 tell改成ask 会稍微有点问题吧。

Answer 2

多谢！受教了

Answer 3

发多少个信息你是知道的，当10个消息发完后发一个结束消息给GreetPrinter,  tell改成ask，GreetPrinter的邮箱没有改过的话，消息应该是按顺序排列的，当GreetPrinter收到最后的结束消息后，向父actor发送结束回复消息并stop自己，在main程序中收到结束回复消息后就可以关闭ActorSystem了。
