Check_MK Werk 5806: Periodic service discovery: Fixed scenario where process could get stuck

ID: 5806 Title: Periodic service discovery: Fixed scenario where process could get stuck Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.6.0i1 The process discovery (cmk --discover-marked-hosts) triggered by the cronjob had no timeout handling implemented. The python process could get stuck if the connection to the remote host was never closed. This could consume lots of memory over time, since the discovery process is triggered every 5 minutes.
