UCMDB 9x: Not possible to execute shell commands after a timeout

[Mr_Grincheux]

   
Hi all,

in ucmdb 9, does anyone know why a shell command in timeout prevent the discovery script to execute any subsequent commands.

Please consider the following 2 examples using  ShellClient.executeCmd and ShellClient.executeCmdWithTimeOut. As shown below, when the first command exceeds a configured timeout value an exception is raised (unless executeCmdWithTimeOut is called). This is the expected behaviour.
What I do not understand is that any commands executed afterwards timeout as well even if those are not supposed to. A command in timeout does not mean that the whole discovery script is in timeout.
 

Example 1: ShellClient.executeCmd
   
    try:
        logger.debug('Test 1 ...')
        waitfortimeout = 0
        client.executeCmd('sleep 60; ls /tmp', 5000, 0)
    except Exception, ex:
        exInfo = ex.getMessage()
        logger.debug('Unexpected exception: %s' % exInfo)


    try:
        logger.debug('Test 2 ...')
        waitfortimeout = 0
        client.executeCmd('sleep 5; ls /tmp')
    except Exception, ex:
        exInfo = ex.getMessage()
        logger.debug('Unexpected exception: %s' % exInfo)
        errormessages.resolveAndReport(exInfo, Framework)
 
[DEBUG] - Test 1 ...
[DEBUG] - Unexpected exception: Command timed out: Exceeded timeout after 5000 milliseconds
[DEBUG] - Test 2 ...
[DEBUG] - Unexpected exception: Command timed out: Exceeded timeout after 15000 milliseconds

Example 2: ShellClient.executeCmdWithTimeOut

     try:
        logger.debug('Test 1 ...')
        waitfortimeout = 0
        client.executeCmdWithTimeOut('sleep 60; ls /tmp')
    except Exception, ex:
        exInfo = ex.getMessage()
        logger.debug('Unexpected exception: %s' % exInfo)

    try:
        logger.debug('Test 2 ...')
        waitfortimeout = 0
        client.executeCmd('sleep 5; ls /tmp')
    except Exception, ex:
        exInfo = ex.getMessage()
        logger.debug('Unexpected exception: %s' % exInfo)
        errormessages.resolveAndReport(exInfo, Framework)

[DEBUG] - Test 1 ...
[DEBUG] - Test 2 ...
[DEBUG] - Unexpected exception: Command timed out: Exceeded timeout after 15000 milliseconds
