Issue/Introduction
Error Message : N/A
The Unix Agent is not able to connect successfully to the Automation Engine (AE) if the Communication Process (CP) which the Agent is connected to has "0" connections at that time.
The Agent stops trying to connect when any CP delivers "0 connections". However, the Agent process remains active.

Cause
Cause type: By design Root Cause: There was a recent change in code to allow a CP’s to have 99999 connections. In order to be compliant with our protocol the connection count is divided by 10 which can cause the CP to send a connection count of ‘0’, causing the UNIX Agent to stop.
