[tg] Traffic Generator: UTP server question

[Barbara Denny]

Hi,

Yes.  You can say wait for so much time on
the receive side and then the process will
end.  For example,

at 1.1 wait 60 

This causes tg to end 60 seconds after the
time requested by the at action; i.e. about
61.1 seconds after the setup. (or 1:30 for 
one minute 30 seconds, etc).

I just don't use it because I am constantly
tweaking scripts as I test things so killing
the process itself works well for me.

>From your original message I did not realize
you had modified tg to make it end. I looked at
the code and saw the line you mentioned below so
I didn't see how it could have exited on its 
own.
