No polling with last cactid

[pfouquet]

Hello,

With the last cactid, I have no polling.
Just a strange "Alarm Clock" warning:

Code: Select all

Usage: cactid [start_host_id end_host_id]
 
If you do not specify [start_host_id end_host_id], Cactid will poll all hosts.
 
Cactid relies on the cactid.conf file that can exist in multiple locations.
The first location checked is the current directory.  Optionally, it can be
placed in the '/etc' directory.

I am having similar issues.
Alarm Clock error sporadically happen approximately every once in 3 times and it exits without finishing the polling. This results in the graphs appear with gaps. cactid also hangs and does not close MySQL database connection, as a result MySQL runs out of connections and starts rejecting new connections. Had to implement mechanism to clean cactid processes and write a script that keeps track of how cactid exits, but would like a more long term solution if anyone has any.

Running on SPARC, Sun Solaris 8

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
