Agent is suspect

I'm getting this error on the distribution agent. Am I correct when I say
this would be expected in a testing environment where transactions are not
being processed by the database regularly? I have now up'd the inactivity
threshold to like 720 :-)
Also, what’s the best way to recover and/or bypass the error?
Thanks,
Mark
You are not correct that you will get this error when there are no
transactions to be applied - you get this message when the agent is busy. I
would investigate what the agent is hanging on using profiler on the
subscriber or by doing logging.
