[ovs-discuss] Infinite timeout for ovs-vsctl reconnect?

[bkruger]

Just curious,

I notice that if the db is unreachable, it attempts to reconnect.   I'm
looking at the code (not a C programmer, but can read some) and I see that
tries to reconnect infinitely.   Is there a place where this can be set to
give up after X attempts?   If you're on a RHEL box at least, if OVS was
already stopped for whatever reason, if you try to shutdown or reboot, you
are stuck in an infinite loop and the only thing you can do is reset/pull
the plug to reboot the machine.   I would prefer that this is some sort of
a settable value as opposed to editing/recompiling code for each release.
Just curious if that was on the map somewhere.

Thanks
