Are non multi threaded applications considered well written ? listener = socket(...); bind(listener, ...); listen(fd, 10000); Loop 1 10 if (fork() == 0) do_accept(listener) Now if a child does a close(listener), or is killed, you propose that it does an implicit shutdown() and all other children no longer can accept() ? Surely you did not gave all details on how it is really working. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
