Just one more comment on the default time-out value. The idea was to reduce the number of forks not completely remove them. We want make each burst (many evenst within short time) go via pipe, while we allow the less frequent use fork. If there are a long delay due to slow devices like USB1 etc, then the handler will exit for a while and once the delayed event comes back, the handler will just auto respawn. We will never have more than one fork per second though. We don't even need to let it be configurable unless we think that one fork per second is too many forks. -nc _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
