The main loop in the master is as follows: forever { set an alarm for 1000s do an EPOLL_WAIT for up to 500s and handle any child process events, or short-term timer requests that are implemented around the EPOLL_WAIT timer. respond to sighup (the sighup flag is set by a signal handler) respond to sigchld (the sigchld flag is set by a signal handler) } It would be worthwhile to see what strace reports when you leave it running. If strace reports nothing in 500s then EPOLL_WAIT is not working. If strace reports nothing after 1000s then the alarm timer is also not working. Wietse
