Author	Topic: IQConnect timeout value (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
thariman -Interested User- Posts: 16 Joined: Jan 23, 2010	Posted: Mar 5, 2011 05:01 AM Msg. 1 of 4 Hi, Is there a specific timeout value for IQConnect when all level 1 connection are terminated ? It's seems that IQConnect still running without shutting down even though there are no connection at all. Tony

There is no timeout in the current version (we are planning on adding one for a future version). Currently IQFeed is designed to shut down only when the user exits manually or when all the connections to the level 1 port have disconnected. If IQFeed is running and the connection manager indicates that there are no client connections, then that probably means that there has never been a connection established to the Level 1 port.

It should shut down immediately. -edit for your edit - Yes, IQConnect should shut down by itself once all level 1 connections are terminated Edited by DTN_Steve_S on Mar 8, 2011 at 09:09 AM
