Thank you for reply.
I ran nxagentd under gdb.I attach a backtrace file after crash.
Could you check the file.

command.log

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this on my system. Could you please run nxagentd under gdb and send me a backtrace after crash?

To run agent under gdb:

  1. Run command
    gdb /opt/netxms/bin/nxagentd

You will get gdb prompt:
(gdb)

Type command:
run -f

Agent will run in foreground. After crash, gdb prompt will appear:
(gdb)

Type command
bt

and send it's output to me.

Best regards,
Victor
