I have a process that sometimes leaves "CLOSE" state connections, as follows: $ netstat -o -A inet Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State Timer tcp 1 40880 192.168.99.1:1147 feed-udp.rad.dire:33119 CLOSE on (8.83/0) That connection is hanging around despite the fact that the process that created it is completely gone (killed), and the process on the remote machine is also completely gone (killed). But this "CLOSE" state record seems to hang around until I reboot. Does "CLOSE" state refer to the "CLOSING" state described in Stevens' _UNIX Network Programming_? How do I get rid of such a record without rebooting? (It is just ugly, it hasn't prevented anything from working (yet)) Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
