Shalom Binu,

Could you provide some information on why you think the socket is corrupt? Error code? syslog or application message. Anything.

You should be able to recover by restarting networking. /sbin/init.d/net stop ;/sbin/init.d/net start

do it on one command line or at the console or you will lose access to the system.

msbinu,

I had an export to tape running from a sybase database that failed and would not let go of a socket once, nothing worked to free it until I rebooted.

While ago now, probably more dynamic with stop and start net.

JASH

In almost all cases when there is a problem with sockets the problem lies in the application code (ie, the design was not robust enough). There have certainly been patches related to sockets, STREAMS, and network but since you barely bother to describe your problem or the OS, it's rather difficult to help much.

Hi ,

I m application runs on unix
And the application seems ti hung due to some reason .
From the logs we are geting a file descriptor corroupted error for the scoket .
Thts y we suspect that the socket is getting corroupted due to some reason .

We need to restart the application to get rid of the issue
