AGS_RETRY_COUNT

Use this variable to specify the number of retry attempts the run time makes to write data to a socket. This variable is useful when the run time closes a socket prematurely, causing acuthin to issue the following message:

Communication socket closed unexpectedly

The default value of AGS_RETRY_COUNT is 1000 (retries). If for some reason the run time performs more than 1000 retries, it closes the socket.

You can use AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME in addition to AGS_RETRY_COUNT. However, try not setting AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME so defaults are used.

AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME 10 (millisecond delay between retries)
AGS_RETRY_COUNT 1000 (retry attempts before closing socket)

This way if the run time has to do multiple retries it sleeps only 10 milliseconds between them. For example, if the run time performs 100 retries before being successful in data transmission:

Retries	`AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME`	Total sleep time
100	10 milliseconds	1.6 seconds
100	100 milliseconds	16 seconds
100	1000 milliseconds	1.6 minutes
100	5000 milliseconds	8.3 minutes

So if you have AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME set higher than 10 and you are experiencing long delays, try setting AGS_BLOCK_SLEEP_TIME to a smaller value.
