[AGENT++] AgentX subagent: connection lost when signal arrives

[Rüdiger Hinze]

Hi,

I ran into a problem on Linux when using POSIX timers in an AgentX subagent: 
every time a timer was released the connection to the master agent was lost. 
The reason is that the select in AgentXSlave::receive doesn't handle 
interrupts. For me, changing

	if ((sel = select(FD_SETSIZE, &fdSet, NULL, NULL, tvptr)) < 0) {
		LOG_BEGIN(ERROR_LOG | 1);
		LOG("AgentXSlave: lost conncection with master");
		LOG_END;
		stopit = TRUE;
		delete tvptr;
		return 0; 
	}
	else if (sel == 0)  { ...

to

	if ((sel = select(FD_SETSIZE, &fdSet, NULL, NULL, tvptr)) < 0) {
		if (errno == EINTR) {
			LOG_BEGIN(ERROR_LOG | 5);
			LOG("AgentXSlave: select interrupted");
			LOG_END;
			delete tvptr;
			return 0; 
		}
		else
		{
			LOG_BEGIN(ERROR_LOG | 1);
			LOG("AgentXSlave: lost conncection with master");
			LOG_END;
			stopit = TRUE;
			delete tvptr;
			return 0; 
		}
	}
	else if (sel == 0)  { ...

solved the problem.
