[Xastir] Bug#876626: Xastir loose TCP/IP data afer 12 hours of use

[Jason KG4WSV]

You can use another tool like telnet to establish an APRS-is connection at the same time / on the same system as xastir. 

Open a terminal window and type

telnet APRS.server port

Where APRS.server is the name of the server you connect to and port is the port number. 

Once connected you may have to send an authentication string. I can’t recall the details and can’t look them up at the moment, but maybe someone else can chime in. 

You should see a stream on APRS packets in that window. 

Then start xastir in another window. When xastir stops, see if the data is still flowing in the telnet session. 

If telnet stops when xastir does, you know it is not an xastir problem and likely is a network problem.

There are probably few days/weeks long TCP connections to compare it with, though. I guess you could use telnet to connect to your favorite APRS-IS server and see if it dies at the same time xastir does. If so, that points at the network and not xastir. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir at lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
