Re: [gpsd-dev] Revised adaptive-delay code - please test

[Hal Murray]

Here is a recipe to make it hang.

Run the script below.  It isn't pretty, but it works for me.  In another 
window, run gpsmon.

I've seen it hang in under a minute.  My latest try took 15 minutes.  YMMV.

gpsd is not getting an uncaught signal.  (I'm running it from gdb.)  It's 
just not doing anything.



#!/bin/bash

while true
do
  date
  ./gpspipe -n 3 -R -o /dev/null # hang if gpsd is sick
  ./gpspipe -d -R -o /dev/null
  sleep 2
  DELAY=$RANDOM      # 0-32K
  usleep ${DELAY}00  # 0-3 seconds
  killall gpspipe
  ps ax | grep gpspipe
done
