I'm writing my own little SNMP Agent using Scotty v2.1.5. The objective
is to support the HOST MIB-II tree on various platforms (school work).
However, once my agent has been running for a while (say 24 hours),
the scotty process memory usage gets huge. In fact, I "don't have
memory to fork off process" then and the program crashes :) It uses
a small program to do some low-level snooping (syscalls).
The memory leak doesn't happen if I comment the following lines of
my code:
proc setMIB {var val} {
global s
$s instance $var $var $val
}
So this instance stuff is acting weird. Can I "uninstance" a variable
before updating it? If I don't do that, obviously, the scotty program
get bigger and bigger until it crashes :( I'm updating the variables in
the HOST MIB-II tree once every 30th second.
Does anyone have a clue what has gone wrong here? Does Scotty v2.1.6
fix the problem? Please anyone?
