I should clarify... the "TCP state" information was found by doing an lsof on the process with a PPID of "inet". On the 3 open file descriptors (stdin, stdout and stderr) which are tied to the socket, the "NAME" column shows: server:port->client:port (IDLE) I assumed the value in '()'s was the TCP state. Unfortunately I don't have any processes in this "spinning" state at the moment, so I can't tell what netstat shows. PS. I just looked at the man page for lsof and it does say the value in parentheses is the "TCP or TPI state name". _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
