This comes from me not reading the man page for poll() properly. Of course, I want to check every second: syslog timestamps the messages with a resolution of 1 second, AFAIR, or at least some of them do. So if you could just squash in this patch, that would be smashing: -- snipsnap -- @@ -945,8 +945,8 @@ static int service_loop(int socknum, int *socklist) for (;;) { int i; - i = poll(pfd, socknum, 1); + i = poll(pfd, socknum, 1000); if (i < 0) { if (errno != EINTR) { error("poll failed, resuming: %s", strerror(errno)); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
