Hi misc,
Playing with wget I am getting an odd behaviour related to --timeout
It takes about 7 minutes for the process to die inside a 6.9 VM (vmd)
and 2 minutes in real hardware running 6.8, both with internet down but
DNS resolving ok.
to reproduce (with internet not connected):
$ time wget --timeout=5 -q -O - https://www.url.com/test.php
my scenario is wget being called inside a script in a while loop, but
can be reproduced in the prompt as well:
---
inside vmd:
OpenBSD p2p69.my.domain 6.9 GENERIC#328 amd64
Every 2.0s: ps wwaxu | grep wget | egrep -v grep

--timeout=5 -q -O - https://www.bitstreet.com.br/ip.php
.. timeout expires after about 7 minutes (1:17 - 1:24) for new process
to appear (script)
Every 2.0s: ps wwaxu | grep wget | egrep -v grep
