Hi, I am following Daniel's advise in trying to get more transactional rigour through the Python library from Git. The library certainly is easier to integrate! But I think I hit upon a bug. The code def __init__ (self, socketpath='/var/run/knot/knot.sock'): """Connect to knotd """ self.ctl = None self.txn_conf = False self.txn_zone = set () self.txn_success = True self.ctl = libknot.control.KnotCtl () self.ctl.connect (socketpath) self.ctl.set_timeout (3600) seems to not set any timeout; it always cuts off after 5s sleep, and never after 4s sleep. This is true for the first command as well as later ones. Same when setting the timeout to 7200, so it's not a ms/s issue. This code is almost literally the same as in StatsServer, except that demo runs too fast to detect timeout problems. I ran into it when working interactively. Ideally, I would want to disable connection timeouts altogether, so it is possible to abort any open transactions upon whatever cause for termination there might be; this should benefit stability. -Rick
