Thanx Sashan for your answer. I did it in the way you pointed out, but the application stops once the evtimer is on : segmentation fault.
Nick, this is how I did it : 1. create the bufferevent with bufferevent_socket_new() 2. set the callback with bufferevent_setcb() 3. enable the bufferevent for READing with bufferevent_enable() 4. connect the bufferevent with bufferevent_socket_connect() Of course, this is not enough, I introduced an evtimer which becomes active once the bufferevent connection is lost. When the connection is up and running, then the evtimer is removed : 5. create the event timer with evtimer_new(). Its callback creates a new bufferevent and sets it as active and removes the evtimer with evtimer_del(). > > What I need : a libevent client which tries to reconnect periodically after > loosing connection with the server. > > To solve this problem I add evtimer that becomes active once the connection > with the server is lost.
