I did an strace and after the startup has finished there is tons of this stuff
recvmsg(8, 0x7fffce265f10, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 4, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
Occasionally there are also things like this:
recvmsg(8, 0x7fffce262430, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll([{fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=8,
revents=POLLOUT}])
writev(8,
[{"5\30\4\0\356\6\200\4\25\2\200\4\342\0\30\0\213\4\6\0\357\6\200\4\356\6\200\4*\0\0\0"...,
4472}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 4472
recvmsg(8, 0x7fffce265f10, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 4, 0) = 1 ([{fd=8, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(8, {msg_name(0)=NULL,
msg_iov(1)=[{"\301\0\331\34\t\0\200\4\3\0\202\0\36\0r\5\0
\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
recvmsg(8, {msg_name(0)=NULL,
msg_iov(1)=[{"\301\0\343\34\t\0\200\4\3\0\202\0\36\0r\5\0
\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
recvmsg(8, 0x7fffce265f30, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
Does that help?
