The gatt-service exits on IO interrupts, I have checked gatt-dbus.c, it cleans up the client db on client disconnect.

To register and unregister multiple services, if gatt-service can be modified so that it provides choice to user for registering/unregistering multiple time. Please suggest, if we can add switch case options to iterate through resgister/unregister service as per the data input to gatt-service. #gatt-service Usage: gatt-service [Register/Unregister] [options] Options: Service_UUID Included_serv_UUID Char_UUID Char value Desc UUID Desc value Unregister: Service_UUID Best Regards, Bharat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
