  • Bug#265446: knutclient: Reconnect after disconnect

    From Philipp Matthias Hahn@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 11:00:31 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: knutclient
    Version: 0.8.1-1
    Severity: wishlist

    After a forceful disconnect (server crash) from upsd, it's hard to
    reestablish the connection. At the moment I've to do the following steps:
    1. Menu->Configure
    2. Goto "UPS" tab
    3. Select disconnected UPS in list
    4. Click Edit button
    5. Do a null-change to a setting
    6. Click OK
    7. Click OK

    A 'reconnect'-button would be nice.
    Trying to reconnect automatically on some configurable intervals would
    also help.

    I personnaly have a quicker method, which
    only works if you monitor several UPSs:
    1. switch to another UPS
    2. switch back

    this should work with a dummy UPS
    while waiting for a proper solution...

    A 'reconnect'-button would be nice.
    Trying to reconnect automatically on some configurable intervals would
    also help.


    @Daniel: I can't remember if we've already
    talked about it, but I totaly agree about the
    above.

    I've not looked at the code (I'm still reluctant
    as most (still all Dan?) code is commented
    in Czech).

    Here is what I propose:
    - short term: try reconnexion every 10-15
    sec when upsd com lost. Maybe increase
    this interval when it lasts too long. I wouldn't
    vote for a button, but using F5 key to 'refresh'
    (adding a menu: Display/Refresh) seems
    more standard

    - long run: NUT will one day fully support
    async client connexion (ie avoid polling
    by sending to clients only data that changes).
    I'll talk with Russell about a feature such as
    ping the previously connected clients to
    tell these upsd is back.
