This is on a FreeBSD 5.3 system. All other probes seem to work Hi, try if the attached patch helps. It's going to be in the next release. Apparently some platforms, at least Solaris, set the select() exception flag on a pipe file descriptor if the process at the other end has already exited. The select handling code in lib/probes/basefork.pm isn't prepared for that, and treats it as an error condition. Linux, Digital Unix (or whatever it's nowadays called), and HP-UX don't do this, but FreeBSD might. I guess I should install a *BSD somewhere just for testing... > One other question not quite related...

EchoPingHttp just calls echoping(1) with the '-h' argument, and EchoPingSmtp with '-S', and uses the timestamp echoping returns. In the SMTP case, it looks like it just sends QUIT immediately and sees how long it takes for the connection to close. In the HTTP case it's downloading the full page. The echoping source code is authoritative on this, of course, so look there if you really need to know :) -- niko -- Attached file removed by Ecartis and put at URL below -- -- Type: text/plain -- Size: 1k (1038 bytes) -- URL : http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/p/23_basefork.dpatch -- Unsubscribe mailto:smokeping-users-request@list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:smokeping-users-request@list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
