Process getting terminated after sleep iterations
Hello All,
I have a script which has a functionality to sleep for 300 seconds after it does some processing, so in the logs if i check after the 3 iteration of sleep it didn't write saying "sleeping for 300 seconds". I suspect putty would automatically terminate session as i cannot access it any more and killing the associated PID or something else is going though i don't have any code as such to terminate session or process after these many iterations, could you please let me know if you know something about this.
Thank you.
