Hi

I posted 2-3 days back with my xinetd service giving me error -

Address already in use at ./server.pl line 32.

I was suggested to use flag = REUSE in xinetd service and it did work fine. Now, the error has recreated and I don't the reason why. Need some pointers here.

my xinetd service

 
# default: on
# description: Hello World socket server
service sajan

{
   socket_type     = stream
   flags           = REUSE
   wait            = no
   user            = root
   server          = /tmp/server.pl
   log_on_success  += USERID
   log_on_failure  += USERID
   disable         = no
}

Part of my server.pl code -

 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
# server1.pl - a simple server


use strict;
use Socket;
use IO::Socket;

use constant TCP_PORT => 7890;

my $port =  TCP_PORT;
my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');

sub logmsg { print "$0 $$: @_ at ", scalar localtime, "\n" }
# create a socket, make it reusable
socket(SERVER, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto) or die "socket failed : $
+!\n";
setsockopt(SERVER, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)  or die "setsock faile
+d : $! \n";

# grab a port on this machine
my $paddr = sockaddr_in($port, INADDR_ANY);

# bind to a port, then listen
bind(SERVER, $paddr)      or die "bind failed : $!";
listen(SERVER, SOMAXCONN) or die "listen failed : $!";
print "Server started on port $port \n";

i have entry in /etc/services as - sajan 7890/tcp

Need help to understand and resolve this. Thank you
