Nagios 3.0.3 Spins processor

Reported by: saggau@… Owned by: markd@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Cc:
Port: nagios

Description

I ran into a (possible) bug in Nagios OS X 10.5.4, which I tracked-down to poll() never timing out in the cmd file worker thread on that platform. It looks like poll() always returns 1, whether there is data on the pipe or not. A quick fix that shouldn't break Nagios on other platforms and which doesn't require any configure checking of poll() is to manually pause if poll() returns 1 with an empty pipe. You may want to use your poll() emulator, though.

I have reported this to the Nagios-devel mailing list as well.

I'm very (very!) happy to be able to return some tiny portion of the effort the OSS community makes on my behalf. JS
