timeout error

Hallo,

I am donig a rather long script execution via script/runner (quering a xmlrpc webservice). After about 5 minutes the execution stops raising the following error.

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/runner.rb:47: / usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `rbuf_fill': execution expired (Timeout::Error)         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in `timeout'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:in `timeout'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:132:in `rbuf_fill'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:116:in `readuntil'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:126:in `readline'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2017:in `read_status_line'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2006:in `read_new'         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1047:in `request'          ... 14 levels...         from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/ runner.rb:47         from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 27:in `gem_original_require'         from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 27:in `require'         from script/runner:3

I have tried to do something like:

timeout(20000) do   #code here end

but the script stoped after the same time. Can anybody help me on this or point me into the right direction? Thaks a lot, migo

I just see that the execution of a differnt rpc-function takes way longer but toes not run into a timeout error, but finishes correctly. The problem seems to be somewhere else. So dont bother to answer.. I'll post the solution once I found it, just for the completion of this thread.

I’m running into the same problem - did you ever find a solution?

Thanks
