I have a case where my server accepts connections from clients that imporperly shit down, causing a large number of file descriptors to remain in use by my server program (the kernel has not notified me that the remote client is non existent anymore)
If the client properly powers down etc, I do get the TCP FINs and hense I can clean up... but I want to guard against resources used by machines that were ubruptly powered down or had their cables yanked.
Can I use TCP_KEEPIDLE for this?
Thanks Lyle
