Mailing List Archive: [dbmail-bugs-799100] restart fails with socket exception

Ilja,

I have a small patch that may well fix bug #799100

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=577642&aid=799100&group_id=85894

The general reasoning is
- other daemons can do, so should dbmail
- this must be solved in libc already

So I ended up trying SO_LINGER and lo-and-behold it appears to do the trick.

I have zero+ experience in C network programming so any takers for
critique, shoot.

I've done some testing and I'm unable to reproduce the problem when
the patch is applied.

Hi,

We've resolved the problem.

In the CreateSocket function in server.c, the so_reuseaddress variable
was not set to 1. Now it is (in CVS, 2.0 branch) and restarting
the server should work now.
