in reply to Smartly dealing with CLOSE-WAIT states

Looks like there are no news since 155873.

You really have to restart the application to have the sockets closed. Applications should behave better.

    Looks like, yes is quite similar. I have tried to rig a script that will force a closure of these sockets, but the more i read and try to do the impossible, the more I realise it is the responsability of the applicaiton. Unfortunately, it is a java application, so the water becomes muddier. Thanks for everyone's help. I just needed some other voices to see if there was not someone who had created a great perl module to deal with these messes :)
