RPC Problem with RHEL 5

[siva_linux]

Hello,
We have an RPC program running on RHEL-5.
both client and server are continuously running programs.
After some time ( 15 hours ),
client connection time out in clnt_create call for 3/5 timeouts
after that clnt_create fails with error message unknown host.

----RPC Prog-------------
program MYHLTPROG {
version MYHLTVERS {
int GETNODESTAT(void)=1;
}=1;
}=0x20000090;
----------------------------

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.
Siva

probably there is a problem in your application's code, you should add some logging information to it so you can debug and find the problems

Hello,

Thank you very much for your response. Please take a look at the sample code which is generating the error. Please help.

Thanks in advance again,
Siva


client :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "myhlt.h"

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
CLIENT *cl;
int *result;
char *server;
char *message;

if (argc != 2) { printf("usage %s host message\n",argv[0]); }
server = argv[1];

while(1)
{
cl = clnt_create(server, MYHLTPROG, MYHLTVERS, "tcp");
if (cl == NULL) {
clnt_pcreateerror(server);
sleep(30);
continue;
}
result = getnodestat_1 ((void *) NULL, cl);
if (result == NULL) {
clnt_perror(cl, server);
sleep(30);
continue;
}
if (*result == 0) {
sleep(30);
continue;
}
printf(" got response from the server\n");
sleep(60);
}
exit(0);
}
