#146 sipp 3.4 is not able to run in background mode

[arda_tekin]

I have successfully compiled sipp-3.4 on centos 6.5.

When I run my sipp server scenario in background mode, sipp writes error log and stops running in background.

cd test/
/usr/local/src/sipp-3.4.0/sipp 10.254.4.181 -sf scenario_uas.xml -i 10.254.4.181 -p 6000 -trace_err -trace_logs -bg

Error message in scenario_uas_5033_errors.log file

sipp: The following events occured:
2014-05-21 06:13:41.928328 1400660021.928328: Failed to add FD to epoll, errno = 1 (Operation not permitted

I have verified that this error is also exists in sipp-3.3.990 source.
But sipp 3.2 works perfect in bg.

Running sipp in bg mode is quite important when automating client and server scenarios in shell scripts.
Hence I believe this bug needs to be fixed urgently to use the most stable sipp version in load and performance tests.

Kind Regards,

Old bug, I know, but for other people having the same issue: adding the -nostdin option works around this issue for me.
