10.2.5.2.2 Bulletin Board Liaison Verifies Sanity of System Processes

The Bulletin Board Liaison (BBL) periodically checks servers. If a server is taking too long to execute a particular service request, the BBL kills that server. (If specified, the BBL then restarts the server.) If the BBL kills a multicontexted server, the other service calls that are currently being executed are also terminated as a result of the process being killed.

The BBL also sends a message to any process or thread that has been waiting longer than its timeout value to receive a message. The blocking message receive call then returns an error indicating a timeout.
