SIGCHLD and sockets HELP!
I am having a problem with SIGCHLD signals and their interaction with sockets. I have an application that forks modules in separate processes and use UNIX domain sockets for communication. The main application handles the SIGCHLD signal so that it can detect when/if a module crashes and if so restart that specific module. The problem arises when the module crashes and before the main application is notified with the SIGCHLD signal the socket will continue to allow writes. I expected that there would be occasions when the SIGCHLD signal would occur after my attempt to write into the socket, but I also expected the socket to return an error at which point I could then mark the module for restart as well. My question is, has anybody else had this problem? Does anybody know exactly what is going on an why? And most importantly, does anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance for your time, it is quite an interesting problem so I am hoping to get some insightful answers.

SCTP Kernel resource overhead
I am trying to find some information on what kernel resources are expended when creating an SCTP association. In particular I wanted to be able to compare a TCP connection to an SCTP association and see how the use of kernel resources between the two different protocols differ. Does anybody have an idea on where I can find such information? I am quite familiar with TCP and UDP and am interested to see if SCTP can replace a UDP implementation that has "reliability" added into the application level. The reason UDP is being used is due to the interconnectedness of the network of servers. If SCTP could be used instead then that would definately be the better solution. Any ideas?

RE: Detect hardware changes
I realized I had the problem when ifconfig did not pickup the network card after a reboot. I went ahead and ran "pciconf -lv" like you suggested and the relevant output looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0: class=0x02 card=0x00241737 chip=0x10321737 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Linksys' device = 'EG1032 Gigabit Ethernet' class= network subclass = ethernet [EMAIL PROTECTED]:12:0: class=0x02 card=0x00c71028 chip=0x920010b7 rev=0x78 hdr=0x00 vendor = '3COM Corp, Networking Division' device = '3C905C-TX Fast EtherLink for PC Management NIC' class= network subclass = ethernet The new NIC that I added is the first one and the old NIC is the second. It seems that the system is detecting it fine but ifconfig still does not display it and there does not appear to be a dev node for it as well.

If you see none@ lines, this means that no drivers did attach to the hardware. Then you either need to recompile you kernel og load the correct kernel module or, if the hardware is not supported, either write a new driver yourself or replace the hardware (or the os). You can use the ifconfig utility to list all recognized NICs installed. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: automake, autoconf compiling
All of the information both of your provided is helpful. I will have to investigate further. Some of the information that Tom specified helped me to track down the problem. Basically I have multiple versions of the tools installed and there are two different directories with aclocal m4 files. If I explicitly change the shell script to also include the other directory then everything seems to continue on until compile time when there is a header that cannot be found. It appears this header alloca.h is located in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/sort/alloca.h. I was just wondering if Giorgos method would also alleviate these problems or if this is just par for the course when using projects that people have not moved into the ports collection?

I use autoconf/automake and libtool daily at work[1]. The programs I write have to run on at least 3 different operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris) without the need for constant manual tweaking of the source. The best way to do that is to use the same version of autotools on all those platforms. So, I install the latest possible versions of these tools with --prefix=/opt/autotools on all the machines I have to use, and stop worrying about all the details. When I have to use the tools, I add /opt/autotools/bin at the beginning of my PATH. When I don't need them, I remove /opt/autotools/bin from my path. This has worked wonders so far. - Giorgos [1] The operative keyword here is "at work". I don't use autoconf and friends for programs I write on my own. I prefer bsd.*.mk for that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- No virus found in this incoming message.
