That's a TCP/IP keepalive timeout... 
The setting is viewable and changable - It should be found at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
Changing it won't survive a reboot though. You'll either need to change it every time or do so in a script at init.

Hello all,

I'm wondering if there's a way within Linux to detect when a tcp/ip connection is lost. Here's the scenario...

I telnet to my linux machine from my PC. I then disconnect my Ethernet cable  (simulating a network failure, loss of broadband service, etc..) Then I reconnect my Ethernet cable and telnet into the linux machine again.

If I do a "who" command, I see the old connection as well as my current connection.

Running RedHat Linux 8, universe 10.0.13

I've tried several variations of netstat, who, etc...to try and identify these "stranded" connections, with no luck.


Any ideas?

Thanks,
