Timeout argument doesn't take string

[benhocker]

I'm probably doing something wrong but I was getting the below error when I used the timeout argument.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./check_snmp_extend.py", line 497, in 
    main()
  File "./check_snmp_extend.py", line 449, in main
    do_the_main_stuff()
  File "./check_snmp_extend.py", line 87, in f2
    signal.alarm(options.timeout) # triger alarm in timeout_time seconds

I just added an int() around it and it seemed to work after that:

signal.alarm(int(options.timeout)) # triger alarm in timeout_time seconds

I have exactly same problem, how did you fix it ?

It looks like i just forced the options.timeout to an integer on this line:

from:

signal.alarm(options.timeout) # triger alarm in timeout_time seconds

to:

signal.alarm(int(options.timeout)) # triger alarm in timeout_time seconds
