I have an app that opens and closes network sockets. When the app terminates it releases all fd (sockets) and exists, yet running netstat after the app terminates still shows the sockets as open! Am I doing something wrong or is this something that is normal? TIA! Phy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
