Tonight I found the GNU/Linux (possibly general) equivalent, out of necessity. Trying tcpkill from the dsniff package didn’t help (no active packets), cutter’s also not adequate, but this works: 1. Figure out the pid of the right lynx instance $ ps x | fgrep lynx 3006 pts/9S+ 0:30 lynx 2. Figure out which fd is connected to the hung socket your pid here └───↓ $ ls -ln /proc/3006/fd total 0 lrwx-- 1 1000 1000 64 Oct 8 23:20 0 -> /dev/pts/9 lrwx-- 1 1000 1000 64 Oct 8 23:20 1 -> /dev/pts/9 lrwx-- 1 1000 1000 64 Oct 8 23:20 2 -> /dev/pts/9 lrwx-- 1 1000 1000 64 Oct 8 23:20 3 -> socket:[3031947] 3. Use a ptrace attach to close it fd number herepid here └─↓ ↓───┘ $ gdb --batch -ex 'print close(3)' /usr/bin/lynx 3006 HTH & HAND, //mirabilos -- This space for rent. https://paypal.me/mirabilos to support my work. ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

In my experience that usually does what it sounds to me as though you want. I don't know about "all contexts", but it works in enough cases to be useful to me. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
