Re: Alarm firing immediately instead of waiting for timeout

in reply to Alarm firing immediately instead of waiting for timeout

Hi gator,

Are you sure that the alarm is the only way your eval block can die? Right now you are logging a "timeout expired" message regardless of what really happened. Try logging the value of $@ and see what you get.

Cheers,

Larry

Ugh. Thank you for noticing that I left $@ out. Sure enough, there was a typo that didn't cause a warning/error in compile but caused a weird crash.	[reply]
