IGMP Proxy stops working on PPPoE reset every day on embedded

jlepthien

So is there another solution? Otherwise I would stick with my cronjob. This is really frustrating, since it should be no big deal. Do you know who the package maintainer is so that we could ask him for comments?

jimp

Only other suggestion I can think of is that you might do a killall -9 igmpproxy, then sleep for 5-10 seconds, and then launch it again.

The last person to commit on the package was Ermal, but I'm not sure if he's actually the maintainer of the package or not. It hasn't had any commits in over a year.

Could I do this with the exec command in rc.newwanip again?
Like this?

exec("killall -9 igmpproxy;sleep 10;/usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf");

jimp

I would put them each in separate exec() commands to be safer.

jlepthien

Okay. I'll try that…

jlepthien

Hmmm. It doesn't work that way. That beast doesn't get started! :(

jlepthien

Well, today it worked. But I had to put the exec statements before the 'return 0;' in that file. I'll check one more time and tell you if it still persists and all is well ;)

Thanks

jlepthien

Ok. This way it works. It needs to be above the last 'return 0;' statement…

jimp

So did it work with just the start above the return, or did it also require the kill?

jlepthien

I just tried it with the killall command. Will try tonight just with the start command…

jlepthien

Okay. Did not work without the killall. So I'll put it back in ;)

jlepthien

Okay. With the kill in place again it works as expected. Thanks jimp for the workaround, would be great to know if somebody could fix the package…

jimp

The package's resync command already kills and then re-runs the proxy, so it's not really clear why it isn't "just working"

You could try to experiment with adding a sleep(10); call in /usr/local/pkg/igmpproxy.inc inside of the igmpproxy_resync(), under the killbyname command.

jlepthien

Ok jimp. I will try that tonight. I used five seconds cause I also used that value in the other file. Can tell you tomorrow if that worked, too…

jlepthien

Hi jimp,

that didn't work either….
Weird. So I'll stay with the fix in rc.newwanip ;)
