Unfortunatly, I do not have control over the remote device. The socket is connected to a remote device server called a UDS-10 by Lantronix, this device is like an Ethernet to Serial brige, buffering output from a connected serial device (in this case a phone switch) and allowing me to collect the output over TCP/IP from port 10001 - but if I send it any data, it will disable logging on the phone switch, and I will have to turn it on again in their software. The phone switch itself is supposed to be connected to a serial printer, but I just connect it to this device, parse the data, and drop it into an Informix database.
Do you think maybe the problem is in the $line = $socket->getline; statement? Should I be using $line = <$socket>; instead? | [reply] |
Just two more questions and I think I can narrow it down, 1, is there any firewall device between the UDS-10 and the logging server? (if yes brand) 2, could you get me a output of netstat for the port when it is in error state? Thanks.

Well - there is no firewall between the UDS-10 and the server. I will try to get you the netstat output by tomorrow, because it takes a while before it stops logging. Thanks in advance for all your help - I almost re-wrote the code in C++ to see if I had more luck. Here is the netstat output when it's working:
tcp 0 0 localhost:36903 uds-10#1:10001 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 localhost:36939 uds-10#2:10001 ESTABLISHED
If you want to see more detailed netstat info in my next post, let me know. | [reply]

In the meantime - what do you think the state would be after the process stops working, and how would you resolve the problem, given the netstat data?
