Hi , Jeff,

      Thank you for reply.  I used to use in the following ways but still could not be verified:

-----------  Log start ---------------------

[BEGIN] 2015/9/17 11:51:51

[postgres@pg95 ~]$ cat test.sh 

#!/bin/bash

ip a |grep eth0

psql -h 100.200.100.211<<EOF

show authentication_timeout;

select now();

\! sh net_test.sh

select now();

EOF

That isn't going to work because net_test.sh isn't called until after the connection is authenticated.

It is difficult to interrupt the process during the brief instant between when the connection was opened and when it is authenticated.

Start psql, and when it is waiting for the password, find the pid for psql and start gdb against the psql process (gdb -p <pid>)

In gdb, do:

(gdb) b PQconnectStartParams

Breakpoint 1 at 0x7f5de60bdf70: file fe-connect.c, line 561.

(gdb) c

Then go back and complete the password in psql.  The gdb session will have triggered the breakpoint.  

Wait for less than the timeout, and hit 'c' and enter in the debugger.  The connection will complete.

Or, wait for more than the timeout and hit 'c' and enter in the debugger.  The connection will error out, as the server side hung up on it.

 

Cheers,

Jeff
