[Rxtx] Letting Serial Port open for a Year

[Alexander Kiel]

Hi all,

-- Sorry same Mail from the right account. --

I'm working on a application which continuously acquires data from a
number of devices over a RS485 bus. On application start, I open the
port and both of the streams (in and out). Then I send requests to the
devices in short intervals. I never have the situation where I don't
need to acquire data for longer period of time. So I never close the
streams and never close the port until application shutdown. 

Here is my question: Is it a problem for RXTX to hold open a port and
its streams for a very long time - say up to one year, or should I close
and reopen the port in fixed intervals like once a day or once a week?

Thanks
Alexander Kiel
