See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/384391/how-to-signal-select-to- return-immediately: signal() blocks until it received something from the socket, or until a timeout occours. We can either do the pipe trick as mentioned in the link, or we explicitly set a timeout for the select().
Attached patch does the latter. ** Attachment added: "patch which explicitly sets timeout for the select() function" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/echoping/+bug/1022870/+attachment/3218301/+files/patch_echoping.c_timeout -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022870 Title: Timeout for echo ping does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/echoping/+bug/1022870/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
