Is there any way to clean TCP connections in "FIN_WAIT1" state ?
Issue
- Our application cannot start after a crash, and the reason seems to be a socket in
FIN_WAIT_1
state. - Is changing
tcp_orphan_retries
sysctl value from the default 0 going to help? - What are other solutions to clean such stuck connections?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- TCP connections
