reading socket queue's

Jamie Rancourt — Mon, 09 Jul 2001 14:42:55 GMT

Hi,

I have a web application that sends/receives data from the web server using unix domain sockets. I need to find a way to read the socket to find out how many requests are pending in the queue. The trick is that I must be able to read them without removing them from the queue. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I need a little more data. Do you have access to the source code or must this be done from the outside? Is it C or Perl. If you have source code then the select system call will get you started or you could go ahead and read the data but store it in a buffer for the application's access.

Clay,

Unfortunately I don't have access to the source. I need to achieve this from the outside, in which case either Perl or C would do.

Hi Jamie,

In that case, this does not appear to be doable. I'm afraid that lsof or netstat will be of little use in this case.
