The TCP connection is already being closed (or I think only half-closed). The problem is that in the Unix socket API you don't find out about that unless you check or try to read or write to it. The tcp_keepalive setting would only come into play if the remote machine crashed or was disconnected from the network. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
