hello,

Some times I have hosts that will go off line and the "conn" connection goes red because they can not be pinged. Which is ok, and perfectly make sense.

Well, the side affect is that the "bbtest" goes yellow from timeouts of the pings timed out.

Here are the errors...

Error output: Timeout waiting for data from child, killing it Timeout waiting for data from child, killing it Child process terminated with signal 15

How can I prevent the "bbtest" from reacting this way..

thanks, michael
