CLOSE_WAIT bug?
Quoted 6 lines · Beng Asuncion
Dear List,
We are using 2.4.17 kernel for our Production machines running JRun/Java applications + Apache. We are encountering a lot of
CLOSE_WAITslike the following before our JRun applications die (port 53001 is the Jrun port):
You can do a very simple test: if you kill your application completely (= killing all threads and processes that could keep a socket open) and then wait a few minutes the CLOSE_WAITs should go away. If they do it's not a kernel problem and you just need to fix the application to close sockets properly.
