You have to force the interpreter into the event loop. The after 10000
command just blocks and does not process any events. So change that
to
after 10000 udp close $u
which will close the udp socket after 10 seconds. Now, at the end of
the script, call
vwait forever
which forces the interpreter to enter the event loop. (You may want
to wait for something more reasonable - see the vwait documentation.)
There is also a syntax bug in the recv procedure. Change it to:
proc recv { f } {
# get packet
if {[catch {udp receive $f} packet]} {
udp close $f
puts "Error while receiving: $packet"
return
}
# ....
}
/js
