...making Linux just a little more fun!

Hi all
Once I read there is a way to close a listening/half open/connected/etc TCP socket using Linux kernel facility i.e using one of /proc entries.
Do any of you recall which /proc (or /sys maybe?) entry that does the job?
Thanks in advance..

I don't think so. TIME_WAIT is usually involved with TCP sockets, which means the kernel will wait for that time before sending an ACK for terminating the socket.
In /proc, there is:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle
Which controls the TIME_WAIT value. But changing this is not a good idea.

Although it's not directly related to my question, I still thank you
for this valuable info 
Hmmm, now.... if only I could recall which /proc entry it is....
