That's still not quite right. Are you running the client and server on the same machine? Shutting down the server should put its connection in FIN_WAIT1 which would immediately go to FIN_WAIT2 if psql is still reachable. I think the connection you're seeing in CLOSE_WAIT is the client's end of the connection. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
