[Xymon] XYMON Proxy Issue

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

In February, Gautier reported this issue with xymonproxy on Solaris :-

http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2014-February/039160.html

I have come this week to update an installation of 4.2.3 on Solaris 9 and
have encountered the exact same issue as Gautier, but this time on the
latest 4.3.17 code :-

2014-05-04 13:05:36 xymonproxy version 4.3.17 starting
2014-05-04 13:20:41 Listening on 0.0.0.0:1984

2014-05-04 13:20:41 Too many select failures, aborting
2014-05-04 13:20:46 xymonproxy version 4.3.17 starting

I do not suffer the connections in TIME_WAIT, just the constant restarting
of the proxy every 15 minutes.  Here is the truss as it gasps when falling
over :-

So, question to Gautier, are you using Solaris 9 and have you managed to
resolve this?

Another question to the rest of the list, this is actually the only proxy I
have on Solaris, all the otehrs are on Redhat, is anyone else using
xymonproxy on Solaris and if so, what version?  For the time being, I am
running the old bbproxy until I get this fixed, the rest of 4.3.17 seems to
be working OK.

Thanks for any feedback.
