Hi Axel, I have done some checks. First I have added the tincd tap interface to a bridge and used the bridge as parameter for batmand. This is currently running since 10h. The second what I have tried is to call "kill -STOP $(pidof tincd)". On the WRT54GL batmand stopped quite fast, but it stopped also fast without the "kill". On the WRT54SL where I never have seen batmand stopping, the "kill" has stopped batmand after 5-10 minutes. I could reproduce this serveral times with the GS. When calling batmand -c -a 120.56.56.56/32 I get the following output on batmand -cd3: [ 275531] Unix socket: got connection [ 275539] got request: 10 [ 275540] Unix socket: Requesting adding of HNA 120.56.56.34/32 - put this on todo list... [ 275544] got request: 10 [ 275545] Unix client closed connection ... Three batmand processes are running and batmand -c returns: WARNING: You are using BatMan-eXp 0.3-alpha (compatibility version 10) ! /sbin/batmand [not-all-options-displayed] -r 2 -a 10.12.10.16/28 eth1 tbb After calling "killall batmand" only one of three batmand processes is killed. I have to killall -9 to get rid of it.
