From a39a859a3066bb637de16edd4f26eab77fb594a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Pettit Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:59:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ovs-vsctl: Set timeout to a default value of five seconds In general, we don't want ovs-vsctl to wait forever to connect to the database, as ovs-vsctl is used extensively in init scripts and the system will not boot. Use a default value of five seconds as a stop-gap. Eventually, we'll switch to a model of connection attempts, since using time-based approach is kind of a hack. --- utilities/ovs-vsctl.8.in | 8 +++++--- utilities/ovs-vsctl.c | 13 +++++++++---- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/utilities/ovs-vsctl.8.in b/utilities/ovs-vsctl.8.in index 0515760b2..17214bd90 100644 --- a/utilities/ovs-vsctl.8.in +++ b/utilities/ovs-vsctl.8.in @@ -101,9 +101,11 @@ Prevents \fBovs\-vsctl\fR from actually modifying the database. . .IP "\fB-t \fIsecs\fR" .IQ "\fB--timeout=\fIsecs\fR" -Limits runtime to approximately \fIsecs\fR seconds.
