We recently implemented a snmp polling utility using PHP4.0.6 on RedHat Linux 7.2 with an Apache webserver. When people using the polling utility do a poll we get leftover sockets that do not seem to go away, and after a while the webserver needs to be restarted. Is there any way in PHP to force these connections closed after a while? Has anyone else seen this. I've got several boxes all exhibiting the same behavior after this utility was put in place. here's some example lsof output, which I got doing lsof -i -n | grep httpd | grep UDP
httpd     27987 root    8u  IPv4 16889303       UDP *:3865
httpd     27987 root    9u  IPv4 16889304       UDP *:3866
httpd     27987 root   10u  IPv4 16891398       UDP *:4054
httpd     27987 root   11u  IPv4 16895660       UDP *:1826
httpd     27987 root   12u  IPv4 16897200       UDP *:1904
On this particular box I have 731 open UDP sockets, and this is after the webserver was started yesterday. Restarting the webserver does resolve the issue. Thanks for any insight. Brian Seppanen seppy@chartermi.net
