Re: stat() and rpg timeout question

hi Tim,

Haven't tried it... but, maybe a signal would work? Set up a signal handler with the sigaction() API, and then set up a 30 second (or whatever) alarm with the alarm() API. Then call stat(). I'm expecting that if stat() does not complete before the alarm is received, that the receiption of the SIGALRM signal will cause stat() to end with errno=EINTR.

I haven't tried it, though. It's only a guess at this point, but perhaps it's worth trying.

Hello all and happy turkey day.


I am using the stat() function to check on a file on our windows server. Its
works great when the server is up, but when the server is down, it basically
locks the system up.


Is there a timeout or something I can do that if the server is down,it wont
lock up the iseries program on that statement?
