Hi again I think I didn't explain the problem properly I'll try to explain it using an example of what it happened last time in Feb, the 23th This is the point of view of the C application, running in the linux box, when answering to the client: 4911 1456244042.324336 write(1, "\7", 1) = 1 4911 1456244042.324610 write(1, "\33[1;16H \33[6;6H_______\33[7;1H -INFORME CANT. RECOGIDA-\33[7;26H", 66) = 66 This is the point of view of the ssh process in the linux box: 6647 1456244042.323463 select(14, [3 9 13], [], NULL, {900, 0}) = 1 (in [13], left {899, 998569}) 6647 1456244042.324971 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0 6647 1456244042.325010 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 6647 1456244042.325033 read(13, "\7\33[1;16H \33[6;6H_______\33[7;1H -INFORME CANT.

And when it happens, the ssh client still working properly, it continues sending keystrokes to the the application, the application receives these keystrokes, it answers to the client, but the answer is not yet received by the sshd process (so it seems the application is frozen... when it is not ¿true?) One time, the operator tried to reset the connection from the ssh client, but no way The C program works properly thru telnet.. no incident has been reported ever I hope this information helps Many thanks Regards Nacho. 2016-04-15 23:53 GMT+02:00 Ángel González <keisial@xxxxxxxxx>: > El 15/04/16 11:28, Nacho del Rey escribió: > > Hi Angel and many thanks for your answer > > The application still sending & receiving data > .- strace over the application: > > I asked for the corresponding strace of the client ssh, where the data > should have been received and printed to the console. > > The strange thing is all file descriptors of all processes are in place > but it seems for any strange reason, something happen to fd#13 ( C Program > fd #1 --> ssd read fd #13) because it disappears from the select call (it > won't be available in the read fd set ever) > > Interesting.
