Re: {bb} Still Having Purple Problems

["PAUL WILLIAMSON" <pwilliamson@mandtbank.com>]

Have you changed the BBNETTHREADS option?  

Have you considered a bigger box or splitting up 
the duties?

It could be that your box simply can't finish the requests 
in the 300 second interval.

Phil,

I did change MAXLINE from 8192 to 20480 as some of our
equipment has up to 150 interfaces that we monitor.
In BBOUT there are several "Runtime 710 longer than
Sleeptime 300".  This is a separate script that is
checking temperature, admin status and oper status.
What do you suggest to add for debugging output and
to eliminate the runtime longer that sleeptime?

Thanks,
Jerry
