route to /dev/null

[Daniel Lee]

Using Qvdxi 3.8.1P on AIX 5.1.

Is there a way that I can set up my thread to route to /dev/null without creating an extra file thread to write to /dev/null?

I have a receive interface that is receiving several message types I don’t need to route to anyone.  I’d like to route the message types I need to the sending thread but throw the rest of the message types away.  How can I do this without creating a extra thread to write to /dev/null?  If I just leave them unrouted they’ll junk up my error logs.

I think I just thought of an answer for this.  I’ll route them all to the same destination thread but use a different route for the message types I want to throw away.  For the route I want to throw away I’ll just put a proc in the middle that kills all transactions.

Route them back to the source thread and put a prexlate hcitpsmsgkill proc in place.  This way it doesn’t display in the route properties on the arrow of netmonitor, yet it kills the ones you don’t want.

Simple.  Put in an IB proc with the ,ast statement as:  return “{KILL $mh}”

Charlie, if you put return “{KILL $mh}” as the last statement in IB proc, you are basically killing all msgs, right?

Yes

But was it what Daniel wants? I guess he only needs to kill certain transactions not all..

If you’re sure that you don’t want to be bothered by non-routed messages in a process, I have used the trick before of setting a raw route to a single /dev/null thread.  That way ALL messages are routed somewhere, and you don’t get errors for non-routed messages.  You can pick what you want and let the rest run to air.
