Hi, I've to use redir to connect the outside world to a web server here in our department. Unfortunately, the internal server had a crash, and, for some reason, redir had problems with further connections, so I stopped it and when I tried to restart, it complains that the address (port 80) is already been used. That is correct, since there are some stalled connections, not bound to any processes. They are listed below:
curiango:/tmp# netstat -t -n Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 431 0 200.136.52.46:80 200.177.144.169:1250 CLOSE tcp 410 0 200.136.52.46:80 200.206.20.200:1475 CLOSE tcp 317 0 200.136.52.46:80 200.206.20.200:1473 CLOSE tcp 307 0 200.136.52.46:80 200.206.20.200:1474 CLOSE Using the /proc interface, I located them in /proc/net/tcp sl local_address rem_address st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt uid timeout inode 8: 2E3488C8:0050 A990B1C8:04E2 07 00000000:000001AF 02:00000026 00000000 0 7 0 9: 2E3488C8:0050 C814CEC8:05C3 07 00000000:0000019A 02:00000065 00000000 0 7 0 10: 2E3488C8:0050 C814CEC8:05C1 07 00000000:0000013D 02:000000F0 00000000 0 7 0 11: 2E3488C8:0050 C814CEC8:05C2 07 00000000:00000133 02:000000F0 00000000 0 7 0 Now, is there a way to definitively close these connections so that I can restart redir to enable access to my internal server?
