Re: Conserver 8.x on Solaris 8...

That's an idea. I can also confirm that the observed behaviour is indeed due to the terminal server having (recently) been configured to drop idle connections...

Thanks,
Will.

I think one temp solution may be to change the keepalive on the
conserver server to something less than 5 minutes.  That may keep it
going.

I'm not yet sure whether our Network colleagues have changed anything, but I'm almost certain that Conserver 7.x was somewhat less sensitive to this? I certainly don't recall the logs being full of reconnection messages? Could be wrong...

Every five minutes each Conserver daemon wakes up and reports the following for each console in its group... The same behaviour has been observed with older versions of Conserver 8...
