Re: {bb} SSH checks not written to $BBVAR/logs



Okay, after digging through the guts of Big Brother, here's what is happening. The two messages that are getting "lost" are after an http check which returns a fair amount of data. The bb-combo script is packaging them all together and sending them along to bb. However, only the first message appears to be getting processed and is truncated right near the end. The other two are getting lost.

This would indicate to me that I had MAXLINE set too high. However, it is set to 8192, which is the same as in src/bb.h, and the combined size of the package is generally around 8105. Pulled the data through a hack to bb-combo.sh and tried running it through by hand after sizing it and got the same result, bb is cutting off the data and only processing the first (truncated) record. For the time being, I'm reducing MAXLINE by 1000 and this seems to have settled things down, but I'm curious as to what might cause this behavior.
