Technical notes on version 3.9.3 03 August 2001 Kern Sibbald General: - Improvements in master/slave timeout detection and error messages. - New master connect/disconnect events (accontrol). - Additional master/slave documentation. - Document USB. Changes submitted this submission: - Create new events "masterconnect" and "mastertimeout", which are triggered when a slave detects that the master has connected and timedout respectively. - Add mastertimeout and masterconnect scripts to etc. - Cleanup the POWERFAIL file write as suggested by Neil. - Add additional detail to master/slave error messages (in many cases the errno is now printed). - Implement select() on accept() and on read() in master and slave to permit timing out master/slave. - Implement CommLost status for master/slave communications. - Fixed SuSE start/stop symbolic linking. - Implemented a generic apccontrol, which is placed in the distribution directory. If a platform wants a customized version (openbsd, freebsd, sun), simply place the apccontrol in the platform subdirectory and ensure that configure.in knows which one to make.
