Are you certain of this part? The usual problem with this kind of program is that the system holds the socket open for a minute or so in case there are any packets in flight for the connection (the lower level network protocols not being 100% reliable). And the workaround is to set SO_REUSEADDR before binding the port; in Haskell, > setSocketOption socket ReuseAddr 1 - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allb...@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allb...@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxd96oACgkQIn7hlCsL25WySACfVmlN/01XGy4LORpdi+N9ZC+x Rd8An2ccUuh7XWdh0krnf70t+kqYolOM =dbL9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
