Hello, I created the following problem:
Host A runs my software that uses libdbi. Host B it's the database server (MySQL one, for now is in the same LAN with Host A). I have a thread that receive a linked list with the data that has to be written to the database. At every 5 minutes, this thread is created and runs until it finish the inserts, then terminates. On the Host B (the db one) I'm using iptables to simulate the network down problem, like: iptables -A INPUT -s IP_OF_HOST_A -p tcp --dport 3306 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-unreachable This generates ICMP packets simulating that host has gone away, if packets arrive on 3306. In the writing thread I have a simple: res = dbi_conn_query (...); When the program call the function it blocks for unlimited amount of time (as much as I leave the REJECT rule on the DB host)... There is a way to make somehow a kind of timeout? A timer and killing the thread it's not a clean solution... Or there is a parameter that can be set? Or I have to hack in the libdbi source code? I'm using persistent connection (connection is made at the start of the program). I don't know if: connect, do job, disconnect it's a good solution also... -- Claudiu Cismaru GPG Key: http://maya.cnixs.com/~claudiu/claudiu.gpg
