Can Mosquitto keep client connection open?

Asked by Deirdre Corr

Hello,

Is it possible to stop Mosquitto sending a disconnect message to the broker after the client message has been sent? I would like to open the connection, send multiple messages and then close the connection manually to avoid the overhead of disconnecting and reconnecting every time a message is sent.

I assume you're referring to mosquitto_pub - if so, then yes. You can use the "-l" option to read lines from stdin and send each line as an individual message. If this doesn't match what you need, then you would be better off writing your own client. The Paho Python client has a publish.multiple() helper that may be suitable as well.

Can you help with this problem?
