NetXMS Support Forum

I have a nxshell script that takes linux formated hosts (/etc/hosts) list and adds it as nodes.
When after running it ok 2 times i get "Request timed out" on 3th run.
Then i need to wait xx minutes before i get it to work again.

Do the script open a connection and then not closing it proper so i need to wait for some timeout?

Script:
#!/usr/bin/python
#
# 2015-07-29 - EspenGB - Working 1.2.17
# Usage:
# $0 hostname
# * Ex: $0 node.netxms.tld

# $0 hostfile(/etc/hostname)
# * Ex: $0 /etc/hosts

# $0 hostname/hostfile containerId
# * Ex: $0 /etc/hosts 1234

Hi,

event if connection is not closed properly connection limit is way bigger than 2. What is in server log (on debug level 6 or higher) when you try to connect for 3rd time?

Best regards,
