poller & max.time of run cmd.php (or cactid)

[Ev]

is your 0.8.6.c max/time of run = 296 sec. But interval may be <>300 sec. Can you make max.time of poller execution configurable ?

Ev,

Remember that you have to set your PHP timeout in the php.ini file or it doesnt make much difference what you have the program set for. When I was first starting with cacti, I had the defaults from php.ini as it came which was 30 secs. When I started adding hosts, I scratched my head thinking, "why isnt this working, I am not close to 296 secs". then I found the timeout in php.ini and my problems went away. I set it up the same as cacti and all is well. but, if you change the timeout in php.ini, you have to restart your web server to make the change take.

default_socket_timeout=60
